Additional safety instructions for the charger

Before using the charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings on the charger and battery pack as well as the instructions on using the battery pack.

Only charge your batteries indoors as the charger is designed for indoor use only.

DANGER. If the battery pack is cracked or damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the charger. There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.

WARNING. Do not allow any liquid to come into contact with the charger. There is a danger of electric shock.

To allow the battery pack to cool down after charging, do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal shed or open trailer left in the sun.

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

The charger and battery packs supplied with it are specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger than the one supplied.

Do not place any object on top of the charger as it could cause overheating. Do not place the charger near any heat source.

Do not pull on the lead of the charger to disconnect it from the power source.

Make sure that the charger cable is positioned where 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. The use of an improper extension cord could cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Take the charger to an authorised service centre for a check and/or repair.

Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorised service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the power supply before attempting to clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce the risk.

Never attempt to connect two chargers together.

Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds or metal structures in the summer.

The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply (230–240 volts). Do not attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a different supply.

If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a second battery pack.
