WORK AREA SAFETY
◾
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
◾
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
◾
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
◾
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
◾
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
◾
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

SERVICE
◾
Have your charger serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the charger is maintained.
◾
When servicing a charger, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
CAUTION:
battery, charge only those lithium-ion rechargeable batteries specically designated
on your charger’s label. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or
damage.
◾
Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
◾
Do not handle charger, including the charger plug and charger terminals
with wet hands.
◾
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery-charger
manufacturer may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
◾
Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
◾
Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do
not pull the charger cord to disconnect the plug from a receptacle. Damage to
the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace
damaged cords immediately.
◾
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise be
subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls,
which could cause injury and damage to the cord, which could then result in
electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger and
56 VOLT CHARGER — CHX55008
◾
Keep the cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to housing or
internal parts.

contact with plastic parts. These materials contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.
◾
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause
shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger repaired or replaced
by EGO authorized dealer/distributor.
◾
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or has otherwise been damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service
technician for an electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working
order.
◾
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service technician
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or re.
◾
Unplug the charger from the electrical 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 will also help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
◾
Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector
or uninsulated battery terminal.

CHARGING A HOT OR COLD BATTERY PACK
If the battery pack is out of the normal temperature range, the #3 LED will shine
RED and the corresponding LED (#1 for fast charging; #2 for standard charging) will
ash green. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 135°F (57°C) or
warms to more than 37°F (3°C), the charger will automatically begin charging and the
corresponding LED will shine normally.
DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACK OR CHARGER
1. If the charger detects a problem, the #3 LED will begin ashing RED or all the
LEDs will turn off.
2. If registering as defective, remove and reinsert the battery pack plug into the
charger. If the LEDs still read “defective” a second time, try charging a different
battery pack.
3. If a different battery pack charges normally, dispose of the defective battery pack
(refer to the instructions in the battery pack manual).
4. If a different battery pack also indicates “defective”, reattach the charger with
the electrical outlet. If no charger LEDs shine briey simultaneously for selfinspection at the reconnecting moment or the #3 LED on the charger when
battery is mounted on still displays defective, the charger may be defective.
