properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with the
female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make
sure that the extension cord is in good electricalcondition.
•
Charger 24VCHRG-AC is rated for 100 –240volt AC
only –The charger must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet.
•
Use only recommended attachments –Use of an
attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in riskof
fire, electric shock or personal injury.
•
Unplug charger when not in use –Make sure toremove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or
maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce
shock hazards.
•
Do not burn or incinerate battery packs –Battery
packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage.
Toxicfumesandmaterialsare createdwhenbatterypacks
are burned.
•
Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs –Do not
use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained a
sharpblow, beendropped, run over orhave been damaged
in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on, etc.).
•
Do not disassemble –Incorrect reassembly may pose
a serious risk of electric shock, fire, or exposure to toxic
batterychemicals.Ifthebatteryorchargeraredamaged,

Battery chemicals cause serious burns –Never let a
damagedbatterypack contactthe skin,eyes or mouth. Ifa
damaged battery pack leaksbattery chemical,use rubber
or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is
exposed to batteryfluids,wash the affectedareawith soap
and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to
battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and
dispose of contaminated clothing.
•
Do not short circuit –A battery pack will short circuit if a
metal object makes a connection between thepositive and
negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a battery
pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, such as
paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails, and other metallic
objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk of fire and
severe personal injury.
•

place –Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 105°F (40.5°C), such as in
direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal buildingduring
the summer.
Information about the battery
1.
The battery pack supplied with your sprayer is only
partially charged. The battery pack must be charged
completely before you use the sprayer for the firsttime.
2.
Foroptimumbattery performance, avoidlow discharge
cycles by chargingthe batterypack frequently.
3.
Storethebatterypack inacoolplace,ideallyat77°F
(25°C) and charged to at least40%.
4.
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process.The batterypackmust bereplaced atthe latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your sprayer, and
therefore pose a safety risk.
5.
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire asthis poses
a risk of explosion.
6.
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy
storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries.
Stop working as soon as the performance of thebattery
falls noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it
has been fully charged.
8.
Protect batteries and the sprayer from overloads.
Overloads willquicklyresultinoverheatingandcell
damage inside the battery housing even if this
overheating is not apparent externally.
9.
Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries
that have been dropped from a height of more than one
meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks,
even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be
undamaged.Thebatterycellsinsidethebatterymayhave
suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper batterydisposal.
