• before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and
product using battery pack.
Warning:
ShOcK hazarD. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
cautiOn:
burn hazarD. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
cautiOn:
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. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
Warning:
pluggeD in Such that it iS cOrrectly OrientateD in a Vertical Or flOOr

• DO nOt attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to
electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• an extension cord must have adequate wire size (aWg or american Wire gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has
more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might
block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. place the charger in a
position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the
bottom of the housing.
• Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to any surface. The charger is
intended to use on a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top, bench top).
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble 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 fire.
