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

charger, (3) battery.

3. To r edu ce risk of injury, only use appointed

battery type5 04.4 .04. 011. 01. 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

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.

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:
1,200 watts/120volt=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.
