CHARGING SAFETY
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and
warnings on the battery and charger before charging the battery.
2. CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUPPLIED CHARGER AND BATTERY. Do not use with other batter-
ies, chargers or drills.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly
increases the risk of a shock hazard.
4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY
POLES with any conductive materi-
als. Touching any two poles at the
same time causes a short condition
and can cause sparks, electrical
shock or fire.
5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH
CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS.
Storing the battery in a box of
screws or nails can cause shorting
across the battery poles.
6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN
FIRE. Combustion of some of the
batteries’ component materials can
cause toxic fumes and possible
explosion.
7. IF CHARGER LIGHT FAILS TO
COME ON check the incoming
power supply. If power source is
okay, then the fuse inside the
charger needs replacement.
Charger should be serviced by a
qualified electrical technician only.
8. CHARGER HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (one prong is wider than the
other). Do not attempt to modify the
plug. Modifying the plug will result
in a safety hazard and will void the
warranty.
9. CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.
Never try to plug into any circuit that
is not 110-120 volts. Never modify
or change the plug that is attached
to the charger unit to attempt to
plug into 220 volt. This can cause
serious electrical damage to the
unit, possible fire or explosion.
