kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug

• 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 fire.

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 household
electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage.
