Electrical Safety; Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Chargers - Facom FCL045 Notice Originale

Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Also
make sure that the voltage of your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your FACOM charger is double insulated in accordance with EN 60335; therefore no earth is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available through the FACOM service organisation.
Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted :
• Safety dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING: No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plug. Recommended fuse : 3A.
Using an extension cable
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of your charger. The minimum
conductor size is 1mm ; the maximum length is 30m.

When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
Chargers
FACOM chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Chargers

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for compatible battery chargers (refer to Technical Data).
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only FACOM rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature such as, but not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away
from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to
clean.
• 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 FACOM 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.
• Do not place any object on top of the 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 centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result
in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must be replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person to
prevent any hazard.
