•DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.

•These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated BOSTITCH rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

•Do not expose charger to rain or snow.

•Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord.

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

•Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.

•An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

•Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.

•Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.

•Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service center.

•Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.

•Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

•NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

•The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
