the instructions and cautions on the battery
charger.
• To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the
specified battery type. Other types of batteries
might burst, causing personal injury or damage
to your charger.
• An extension cord should not be used. Its use
might result in fire or electric shock. Connect the
charger directly to a standard AC power outlet.
• Do not recharge a battery pack that is damaged
or leaking. Take it to a qualified service techni-
cian.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the outlet before attempting any

• Be sure to have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can
result in an electric shock. The charger should
never be used as the DC power source for any
electrical equipment.
• Periodically examine the charger for conditions

20 minutes until the battery pack cools down
