Important Safety Instructions; Safety Rules For Charger - Homelite UT44172 Manuel D'utilisation

WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
 Before using battery charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger,
battery, and product using battery to prevent misuse of
the products and possible injury or damage.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to
the charger and battery, charge only the UT44172 as
specifically designated on your charger. Other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
 Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp
conditions. Water entering charger will increase the risk
of electric shock.
 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the
battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
 Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than
the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage
to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
 Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges
or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which
could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could
result in electric shock.
 Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent damage
to housing or internal parts.
 Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

 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 pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of
charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet)
Cord Size (AWG)
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
 Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged,
have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check
to determine if the charger is in good working order.
 Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
 Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
 Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in

to the charger if metal items should fall onto the connector.
It also will help prevent damage to the charger during a
power surge.
 Disconnect charger from tool when the battery is fully
charged.
 Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion
of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
 For best results, your battery tool should be charged in
a location where the temperature is more than 50° but
less than 100°. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or use in vehicles.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
