1) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

-This manual contains important
safety and operating instructions
for battery charger CH-185.

2) Before using battery charger,
read all instructions and caution­ary markings on battery charger,
battery pack, and product using
battery pack.

3) CAUTION -To reduce the risk of
injury, charge only Huskie Tools
Battery pack as shown in last
page. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal in­jury and damage.

4) Do not expose charger and bat­tery pack to rain or snow or use
in damp location.

5) To reduce risk of damaging the
electric plug and cord, pull by
plug rather than cord when dis­connecting charger.

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

7) 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 that:
a. pins on plug of extension cord

are the same number, size
and shape as those of plug on
charger.

b. extension cord is properly wired

and in good electrical condition.

c. wire size is large enough for

ampere rating of charger as
specified below.

8) Do not operate charger with
damaged cord or plug — replace
them immediately.

9) Do not operate charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been
dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way; take it to a qualified
service agent.

10) Do not disassemble charger;
take it to a qualified service agent
when service or repair is re­quired. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.

11) To reduce risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.

12) The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work to­gether. Do not attempt to charge
any other cordless tool or battery
pack with this charger.

13) Do not attempt to charge the bat­tery pack with any other charger.

14) Do not attempt to disassemble
the battery charger and the bat­tery pack housing.

15) Do not store battery pack in loca­tions where the temperature may
reach or exceed 50°C (122°F)
(such as a metal tool shed, or a
car in the summer), which can
lead to deterioration of the stor­age battery.

16) Do not charge battery pack when
the temperature is BELOW 0°C
(32°F) or ABOVE 40°C (104°F).
This is very important.

17) Do not incinerate the battery
pack. It can be explode in a fire.

18) Avoid dangerous environment.
Do not use charger in damp or
wet locations.

19) The charger is designed to oper­ate on standard household elec­trical power only. Charge only
on the voltage indicated on the
nameplate. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage!

20) Do not abuse cord. Never carry
charg er by cord or yank it to dis­connect from outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.

21) Charge the battery pack in a well
ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a
cloth, etc., while charging.

22) Use of an attachment not recom­mended may result in a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.

23) Do not short the battery pack. A
battery short can cause a large
current flow, over heating and
burns.

24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must
only be replaced by a repair shop
appointed by the manufacturer,
because special purpose tools
are required.

25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS AP­PLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER
THAN THE OTHER).
This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, re­verse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.

. CHARGING THE

BATTERY

CAUTION:

• The charger is designed to oper­ate on standard domestic electri­cal power only as stated in the
rating plate. Charge only on the
voltage indicated on the rating
plate of unit. e.g.120V / 50-60Hz.

• Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage or frequency rating!

• If the temperature of the battery
pack falls approximately below

−10°C (14°F), charging will auto­matically stop to prevent degra­dation of the battery.

• Do not charge the battery pack
whose temperature is below 0°C
(32°F).

• When charging a cool bat­tery pack (below 0°C (32°F))
in a warm place, leave the bat­tery pack at the place and wait
for more than one hour to warm
up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature. Otherwise
battery pack may not be fully
charged.

• Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.

• Do not insert your fingers into
contact hole, when holding char­ger or any other occasions.

CAUTION:

To prevent the risk of fire or damage
to the battery charger.

• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.

• Unplug the charger when not in
use.

NOTE:

Your battery pack is not fully
charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to charge the battery
before use.

How to charge

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

NOTE:

Sparks may be produced when
the plug is inserted into the AC

slowly once the battery is approxi­mate ly 80% charged.

5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp in green color will
turn off.

6. If the temperature of the battery
pack is 0°C or less, charging takes
longer to fully charge the battery
pack than the standard charging
time.
Even when the battery is fully
charg ed, it will have approximately
50% of the power of a fully charged
battery at normal operating temper­ature.

7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn
off.

8. If a fully charged battery pack is
insert ed into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After sev­eral minutes, the charging lamp in
green color will turn off.

3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto­matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.

• Charging will not start if the bat­tery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools
down.
Charging will then begin auto­matically.
