13-1 Charge the battery from a wall socket
within the voltage range noted on the
charger label.
Failure to do so may result in
overheating, or inadequate charging
possibly causing serious injury.
13-2 Never use a transformer.
13-3 Never connect the Battery charger to
an engine generator direct-current
power supply.
The charger will break down or be
damaged from burning.
13-4 Avoid charging the Battery pack in
the rain, in a damp place, or where
water is splashing.
Charging a damp or wet Battery pack
will cause an electric shock or a short
circuit that may lead to damage from
burning and even the tool catching on
fire.
13-5 Do not touch the power cord or plug
with a wet hand or glove.
This may cause injury from electric
shock.
13-6 Do not put a cloth or any other cover
on the Battery charger while the
Battery pack is being charged.
This will cause overheating and
damage from burning, or the Charger
may even catch fire.
13-7 Keep the Battery pack and Battery
charger away from heat and flames.
13-8 Do not charge the Battery pack near
flammable materials.
13-9 Charge the Battery pack in a well
ventilated place.
Avoid charging the Battery pack where
it will be in direct sunlight.
13-10 Charge the Battery pack in a
temperature range of 5°C (41°F) to
40°C (104°F).
13-11 Avoid continual use of the Battery
charger.
Rest the Charger for 15 minutes
between charges to avoid functional
trouble with the unit.
13-12 Any objects that block the
ventilation holes or Battery pack
receptacle may cause electric shock
or functional troubles.
Operate the charger free of dust or
other foreign materials.
13-13 Handle the power cord carefully.
Do not carry the Battery charger by its
power cord. Do not use the power cord
to disconnect it from a wall socket; this
will damage the cord and break the
wires or cause a short circuit. Do not let
the power cord contact sharp edged
tools, hot materials, oil, or grease. A
damaged cord must be repaired or
replaced.
13-14 Do not charge non rechargeable
batteries with this charger.
13-15 This charger is not intended for use
by children or disabled persons
without supervisor.
13-16 Children should be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the
charger.
13-17 Put a Pack cap (Fig.2.k) on the
Terminal (Fig.2.l) of the Battery
pack.
When the Battery pack is not in use, put
a Pack cap on its Terminal to prevent
short circuits.
13-18 Do not let the Terminal (metal
component) of the Battery pack
short-circuit.
A short circuit in the Terminal will
generate a large current, causing to
overheat the Battery pack and become
damaged.
13-19 Do not leave or store the tool in a
vehicle or in direct sunlight during
summer. Leaving the tool in high
temperature conditions may cause
the Battery pack to deteriorate.
13-20 Do not store a fully discharged
Battery pack. If a fully discharged
Battery pack is removed from the
system and left for a long period of
time, it may become damaged.
Recharge the battery immediately
when it has been discharged.
14. WEAR SAFETY GLOVES WHILE
OPERATING THE TOOL
The finish tie has sharp edges. To avoid
serious injuries, be careful not to touch the
sharp edges.
• Do not use the power tool in the rain, where
water is splashing, in a wet place, or in a
damp place. Using the tool in these or similar
conditions will increase the risk of electric
shock, dangerous malfunction, and
overheating.
• DO NOT DISPOSE OF POWER TOOLS INTO
HOUSEHOLD WASTE. According to the
European Guideline 2002/96/EC for Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its
implementation into national right, power tools
that are no longer usable must be collected
separately and disposed of in an
environmentally correct manner.
