IMPORTA NT SAFETY INSTRU CTIONS FOR
BATT ERY CHARGER

WARNING

Death or serious bodily injury could result from
improper or unsafe use of battery chargers.
To avoid these risks, follow these basic safety
instructions:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This manual contains is important safety and
operating instructions for battery charger Model

504.4.04.010.XX.

2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1)nailer,(2) battery
charger, (3) battery.

3. To reduce risk of injury, only use ORION
rechargeable battery type504.4.04.011.08. Other
type of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.

4. Do not expose battery charger to rain or snow.

5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold

by the battery charger manufacturer may result
in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and
cord, pull by plug when disconnecting battery
charger.

7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.

8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord
must be used make sure:

a) That blades of extension cord are the same

number, size, and shape as those of plug
on battery charger;

b) That extension cord is properly wired and in

good electrical condition;

c） That wire size is large enough for AC

ampere

rating of battery charger as specified in table 1.

Table 1
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE FOR
EXTENSION CORDS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
AC Input Rating Amperes AWG Size of Cord

Equal to or but less than Length of Cord, Feet (Meter)

greater than 2.5(7.5) 50(15) 100(30) 150(45)

0 2 18 18 18 16

2 3 18 18 16 14

3 4 18 18 16 14

If the input rating of a battery charger is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the
wattage rating by the voltage rating-for example:

2,200 watts/220volt=10 Amperes

9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged

cord or plug ，should replace them immediately.

10. Do not operate battery charger if it has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.

11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required.
Inc orrec t re assembly ma y result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.

12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
from receptacle before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce
this risk.

13. Please read this Manual before using the battery
charger.
