3. To reduce risk of injury, charge metabo HPT
rechargeable batteries. Other type of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger or adapter to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the charger or adapter manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting charger or adapter.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord

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
charger or adapter:
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 or adapter as specified in
Table 1.

*1 If the input rating of a charger or adapter is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding

wattage rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts

9. Do not operate charger or adapter with damaged cord
or plug-replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate charger or adapter if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

11. Do not disassemble charger or adapter; take it to a
qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger or
adapter from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will
not reduce this risk.
13. This AC/DC adapter is for use only with specific tools.
It is necessary to confirm suitability by referencing the
instruction manual of the specific tool or by consulting
our web site https://www.metabo-hpt.com/. Failure to
confirm suitability before using the adapter with
specific tools could result in fire hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF THE BATTERY AND CHARGER OR
ADAPTER
You must charge the battery before you can use the
power tool. Before using the model UC18YSL3 battery
charger, be sure to read all instructions and cautionary
statements on it, the battery and in this manual.
WARNING
USE ONLY metabo HPT BATTERIES. OTHER
MODELS OF BATTERIES MAY BURST AND
CAUSE INJURY!
Follow these instructions to avoid the risk of injury:
WARNING
150
Improper use of the battery or battery charger
(45)
can lead to serious injury. To avoid these
injuries:
16
