Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains
important safety and operating instruc tions for the
1495/57546 battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and
product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts are
present at charging terminals. Do not probe
with conductive objects. Electric shock or
electrocution may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any
liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock
may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk
of injury, charge only Berner rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the
charger plugged in to the power supply, the
exposed charging contacts inside the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, 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
specifi cally designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses
other than charging Berner rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fi re,
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.

Charging Procedure

1.
19
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 fi re, electric shock, or
electrocution.
Do not place any object on top of 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 center.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or
fi re.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the
risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack
will not reduce this risk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
230V household electrical power. Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts
