WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious personal injury. The term
“power tool” in all of warnings listed below refers to corded power tools or battery
operated (cordless) power tools.
WORK AREA SAFETY
 Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
 Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
 Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
 Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
 Use charge the EGO lithium-ion battery packs list below:

56V STANDARD CHARGER — CH2100E 7
SERVICE
 Have your charger serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the charger is maintained.
 When servicing a charger, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or
injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger and battery,
charge only those lithium-ion rechargeable batteries specically designated on your charger’s
label. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
 Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
in this manual and on the battery charger, the battery and the product using the
battery to prevent misuse of the products and possible injury or damage.
 Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
 Do not handle charger, including the charger plug and charger terminals
with wet hands.
 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery-charger
manufacturer may result in a risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
 Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that
is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with
another battery pack.
 Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do
not pull the charger cord to disconnect the plug from a receptacle. Damage to
the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace
damaged cords immediately.

56V STANDARD CHARGER — CH2100E8
 Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise be
subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls,
which could cause injury and damage to the cord, which could then result in
electric shock.
 Keep the cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to housing or
internal parts.
 Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. to come in
contact with plastic parts. These materials contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.
 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause
shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger repaired or replaced
by an authorized service technician at an EGO Service Center.
 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or has otherwise been damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service
technician for an electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working
order.
 Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service technician
when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or re.
 Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
 Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce
the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into
the opening. It will also help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
 Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector
or uninsulated battery terminal.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these
instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
