Charger

Safety Warnings: 

• This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
  
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.
• Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

• Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

• DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104ºF (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in summer).

• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage!

• The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and procedures.

• The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65 - 75ºF. Do not charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 50ºF or above 104ºF. This is important and will prevent damage to the battery pack.

• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.

• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately discontinue use and do not recharge.

• During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.
