IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR BATTERY CHARGER
WARNING
Death or serious bodily injury could result
from improper or unsafe use of battery
chargers. To avoid these risks, follow these
basic safety instructions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for battery charger Model
UC18YFSL.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger,
(2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. To reduce risk of injury, charge metabo HPT
rechargeable battery model BSL36B18. Other
models of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
AC Input Rating Amperes*
Equal to or
greater than
0

* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the
wattage rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged
cord or plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.

= 10 amperes
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger manufacturer may result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and
cord, pull by plug when disconnecting battery
charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fi re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
battery charger:
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of battery charger as specifi ed in
Table 1.
