• Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged
in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted
by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive
nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum
foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept
away from charger cavities.
• Always unplug the charger from the power supply
when there is no battery pack in the cavity.
• The charger is not intended for any uses other than
charging the designated rechargeable batteries. Any
other uses may result in risk of fi re, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or
plug. Have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, has been dropped, or has been damaged in
any other way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution or fi re.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce the risk.
a WARNING! Do not install the battery until the
power tool is completely assembled.

when installing or removing the plug from the
outlet.
Before plugging in the charger, make sure that the outlet
voltage supplied is within the voltage marked on the
charger's data plate.
Extension cords
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fi re, electric shock, or electrocution.
a WARNING: Do not touch the terminals of the plug
when installing or removing the plug from the
extension cord.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current that your power tool will draw.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
