IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Charger Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

1.

2.

The battery Charger gets hot during use.

The Charger’s heat can build up to unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment.

Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface.

Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.

Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the Charger.

Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area.

Frequently monitor the Charger and

Battery Pack while charging.

8. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

9. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery pack; avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery pack may cause irritation or burns.

10. Do not expose chargers to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a Charger will increase the risk of electric shock. Charge indoors only.

Charge only designated battery packs; others may overheat, leak, or burst.

11. Keep charging area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

3.

4.

Follow charging instructions.

Do not insert damaged battery pack.

12. Do not operate chargers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Chargers create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

5. Check frequently while charging.

6. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles during use.

13. Charger plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

7. Use chargers only with specifically designated battery packs.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

14. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the Charger.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
