THE ABC'S OF FAST CHARGER SAFETY
Read all safety warnings and instructions before
using your fast charger. They're
pretty reasonable, and neglecting them may result in electric shock, fire, and/or
serious injury. There are other (and much better) ways to get your adrenaline
going.
Save this manual for future reference, review in between uses, and make sure
that anyone who's going to test your new fast charger has read and fully
understood all the information in here as well.
In case this manual disappears into the black hole that all manuals seem to fall
into, you can get a digital version of it at https://nocry.com/pages/instructions, or
by letting us know at [email protected].
So, let's get to it, shall we?
✔

Only use original NoCry 20V batteries with your fast charger for powering
all NoCry cordless power tools. Use of unoriginal batteries of the wrong
voltage or unapproved fast chargers may lead to explosions. And who needs
that?
Your fast charger is designed to charge your batteries indoors only and
away from living areas. Ideally batteries should be charged on a bench in a
workshop or garage. If you do not have such a space, charge your batteries
away from people in an area of infrequent use, just in case anything should
happen. Better safe than sorry.
Your fast charger isn’t waterproof or splash proof. Under no circumstances
should you use it in damp or wet conditions, rain, spray with water, or
immerse in liquid, or risk the danger of explosion or electrocution. Zap.
Keep your fast charger away from open flames, sparks, fuel lines or any
other ignition sources, or combustible materials.

Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a heavy knock, dropped
or otherwise damaged in any way. Take the charger to an authorized service
and we'll sort it out ASAP
Do not charge batteries in air temperatures below 40°F or above 105°F.
When charging multiple batteries, always allow the charger to cool down
before charging another battery.
There is no need to open the fast charger itself, so don’t bother. You risk the
danger of it short-circuiting and being electrocuted and it will also void your
warranty, really
not worth it.
Do not abuse the cord of the fast charger. Never use it for carrying or
pulling anything or forcefully disconnect it. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of accident and electric shock.
NB! NoCry Work & Safety Gear and the manufacturing plant shall not be liable for
any changes made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such changes.

HOW TO USE THE NOCRY FAST CHARGER
How to remove or insert a battery
To insert a battery…
✔
✔
✔
Connect the charger to appropriate power outlet before inserting battery.
Insert the battery pack by sliding the battery into the charger cradle,
ensuring the contacts meet and make a ‘click’ noise.
The red light will be continuously lit indicating that the charging process has
started and is in progress.
6
✔
The green light will indicate that the charging of the battery is complete, the
battery pack may be removed at this point or safely left in the charger.
To remove the battery, press and hold the unlock button on the battery and gently
slide it away from the charger cradle.
NB! To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge
the battery fully before first use. Batteries can be left in the charger cradle
indefinitely without damaging the battery. The charger will keep with battery fresh
and fully charged. Ready for when you need it.
How to wall-mount the fast charger
The fast charger can be wall-mounted in your garage, workshop or home or
comfortably sit upright on a table or work surface.
To wall mount...
✔
✔
✔
✔
✔
Locate an electrical power outlet within reach of the fast charger, and away
from a corner or other obstructions, which may affect air flow.
Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting
screws on the wall.
Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (sold separately) at least 1"
long, with a screw head diameter of 0.28–0.35".
Be sure to leave a gap of at least 2” between the mounting wall and the
surface under, so that the batteries can be inserted and removed without
obstruction.
Align the mounting slots on the back of the charger with the screws, fully
engaging them with the slots. Job done.

MAINTENANCE
Good news - there are no parts inside your fast charger that require professional
maintenance. All that’s needed is some good old fashioned TLC - love your power
tools and they will love you back.
For safety reasons and your overall peace of mind, we recommend having your
fast charger given a once-over by an expert once every 12 months to ensure that it
will continue to operate safely. We must mention that all (potentially deviating)
national inspection and maintenance regulations must be observed.
How to clean your fast charger
Before starting to clean your fast charger, disconnect it from the power outlet.
For the most part, you'll face the issue of dust in or around power contacts.
✔
To clean - wipe down the power cable, charger cradle and power contacts
with a soft dry cloth or use compressed dry air at low pressure to remove
any lodged debris or dirt.
NB! Do not use cleaning agents or solvents, as they may damage the plastic parts.
In between cleanings, keep your fast charger away from dirt, dust and water as
much as possible. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your fast charger.

FAST CHARGER LIABILITY
This product is covered by an EU directive, valid since 01.01.1990, specifying that
the manufacturer is only liable for products if all the parts originate from the
manufacturer or are approved by them, and if the units are mounted and operated
properly.
If accessories or spare parts from third parties are used, liability can be partially or
completely inapplicable. So no using those shifty parts you picked up on the cheap.
In extreme cases the responsible authorities can prohibit the use of the entire unit.
We recommend you always buy original parts and accessories as compliance with
all safety regulations is guaranteed, meaning you are covered and protected.
Another weight off your mind.
