READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury
Before using charger, read all instructions and caution-
ary markings in this manual, on charger, battery, and
product using battery to prevent misuse of the products
and possible injury or damage.
WARNING:
Charge only RYOBI lithium-ion rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury, fire, or damage. For compatible battery
packs see tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correla-
tion supplement 987000-432.
Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
Do not charge a battery that is wet or has been wet or
exposed to liquids.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than
the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage
to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. If cord or charger is damaged, have the
charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges
or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which
could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could
result in electric shock.
Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage
to housing or internal parts.
D o n o t l e t g a s o l i n e , o i l s , p e t ro l e u m - b a s e d
products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts.
They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location.
Do not use, store or charge battery packs or product in
locations where the temperature is less than 50 ° F or more
than 100 ° F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension
cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on 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
charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet)
Cord Size (AWG)
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
The charger should be mounted in the vertical
position or resting on its base during use. Do not
operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which
could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged,
have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take
it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to
determine if the charger is in good working order.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when
not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the
opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger
during a power surge.
Risk of shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output
connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
