IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read all safety warnings and 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. Use on dry, flat, fireproof surface
only. The 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.

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke
detector in the charging area.
5. Charge only designated battery packs;
others may overheat, leak, or burst.
6. Follow charging instructions.
7. Do not insert damaged battery pack.
8. Frequently monitor the Charger
and battery pack during use.
9. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles
during use.
10. Use chargers only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Charging room temperature: 50° - 104° F
14. Do not expose chargers to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a
Charger will increase the risk of electric
shock. Charge indoors only.
15. Keep charging area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
16. 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.
17. Charger plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
18. 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.
19. Store idle chargers out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the Charger or these
instructions to operate the Charger.
20. Maintain chargers. Check for breakage
of parts and any other condition that may
affect the Charger’s operation. If damaged,
have the Charger repaired before use.
21. Have your Charger serviced only by a
qualified repair person. This will ensure that
the safety of the Charger is maintained.
22. Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
23. Use as intended only.
24. Unplug after use and before service,
cleaning or storage.
25. Maintain labels and nameplates on the
Charger. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
26. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
27. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.
28. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product
will expose you to lead, a chemical known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
