Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS)
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow
all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire, explosion and/or serious personal injury.
It is the responsibility of the owner to make sure all
personnel read this manual prior to using the device. It
is also the responsibility of the device owner to keep
this manual intact and in a convenient location for all to
see and read. If the manual or product labels are lost
or not legible, contact Matco Tools for replacements. If
the operator is not fluent in English, the product and
safety instructions shall be read and discussed with
the operator in the operator's native language by the
purchaser/owner or his designee, making sure that the
operator comprehends its contents.
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control and
endanger others.
Electrical Safety
• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate
battery pack must be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for
one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated
battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk
of fire.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or
"off" position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack
into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.
• Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to
hands or arms.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use (or modify) the tool for any other purpose than
that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the
locked or "off" position before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws,
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by the MATCO
authorized service centers listed. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of
injury. Repair by unqualified personnel, use of unauthorized
parts, and failure to follow maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

MCL2050CHRG Lithium-ion 20V+Battery Charger
IMPORTANT!
All rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan and will slowly
lose storage capacity as they age and are cycled. Rechargeable
batteries are consumable items and should be carefully treated
to ensure proper operation during its limited lifespan. Please
read the following guide carefully for tips that may maximize
the performance of your Matco rechargeable batteries. Batteries
should be handled with care and disposed through proper
authorities.
WARNING! MUST READ!
Do not crush or incinerate batteries as it may cause danger
from explosion.
Do not place batteries in confined spaces where it may be
in contact with conductive objects. For example, do not
place battery in pockets, tool boxes, tool bags, etc. with
screws, keys, metal shavings, etc. as the battery may short
circuit and/or cause fire hazard.
Only charge in Matco chargers and never attempt to wire to
alternative charging sources
Danger of explosion, electric shock, fire, and electrocution may
result from:
- Abuse, misuse, and severe shock
- Subjecting the unit to conductive particles, objects,
and liquids
- Connecting two chargers together
- Charging Matco batteries with other chargers
- Using the Matco charger to charge other
batteries
- Operating the charger with a damaged cord or
plug
PROPER CARE WILL MAXIMIZE PRODUCT LIFE
Please note that there are differences in the care of
Lithium-Ion and Nickel-Cadmium batteries.
PROPER CARE FOR MATCO INFINIUM
LITHIUM-ION (LI-ION) BATTERIES
- All Li-ion batteries are sensitive to high temperature and
should be kept cool, dry, and out of direct light exposure. Ideal
temperature range for operation and storage is between 32 and
75 °F. Li-ion batteries may be stored in the refrigerator,
but freezers are not recommended.
- Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time,
especially when it is fully charged or fully discharged. Bring a
Li-ion battery to approximately 50% charge level before storing.
- Li-ion batteries are sensitive to shock. Avoid dropping,
hitting, or exposure to vibration.
- Li-ion can be charged frequently and recharged before it
is fully depleted. Li-ion, in fact, is ideally recharged before it
is completely depleted. Recharging when there is 25%-50%
capacity remaining in the battery may prolong its lifespan.
- Contaminants can adversely affect the performance and life
of Li-ion batteries. Minimize the battery’s exposure to dust, dirt,
and small particles.
- Recharge Matco Li-ion batteries only in Matco recharging
devices that are designed specifically for the battery type.
Never subject batteries to any other quick-charging, quick-
discharging, or quick-restoring devices.
