13) Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service centre when
service or repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
14) To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the charger from the power
supply before attempting to clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce
the risk.
15) Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 40ºC (104ºF) such as alongside sheds or metal structures in
the summer.
16) The charger is designed for use from a standard household electrical supply
(120V). Do not attempt to connect the charger to a different supply.
17) If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug the charger from the mains
supply and leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a
second battery pack.
3. Important safety instructions for battery pack
1) The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low charge condition. You
should charge the battery pack fully before use.
2) To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always charge
the battery when the air temperature is between 18-24ºC (65-75ºF). Do not
charge the battery pack when the temperature is below 4ºC (40ºF),or above 40ºC
(104ºF). This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule could cause serious
damage to the battery pack.
3) Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or can no
longer hold a charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
4) A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur under extreme usage
or temperature conditions.
This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if the outer
seal is broken and this leakage comes into contact with your skin, wash
the affected area quickly with soap and water.
Neutralize the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar; If the leakage
gets in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
5) Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately
discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
6) Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket, toolbox or any other place
where it may come into contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be short
circuited causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire.
7) The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells. Cadmium is considered to be a
toxic material.
8) Use an environmentally safe disposal unit at a municipal waste disposal centre to
dispose of a damaged or worn out battery, or return it to your dealer.
