• Before using the charger, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the charger and product using the battery.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use charger only with this
product. Batteries in other products may burst causing personal
injury or damage.
• Use only the supplied charger when charging your tool.
The use of any other charger could damage the drill or create a
hazardous condition.
• 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 use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size for safety.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting
any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the batteries will not reduce this risk..
• Use only one charger when charging.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
• DO NOT incinerate the tool or batteries even if they are
severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fire.
• Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under
extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does
not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
