DANGER TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions for battery charger model SC536501. Do not substitute
any other charger.
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.
Charge only SKIL rechargeable batteries listed in the manual. Other types of batteries
may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack within the required temperature range. Store charger and battery
pack in locations where temperature is within the recommended storage temperature
range. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or
snow. Water entering battery charger may result in electric shock or re.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns
to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, ush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on at nonammable surfaces and away from ammable materials when
recharging battery pack. Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces block proper air
circulation which may cause overheating of the charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting
of the charger or battery pack is observed, unplug the charger immediately and do not use the
battery pack or charger. Contact customer service immediately.
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.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress. Damaged plug and cord may result in electric shock or re.
Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord. Do not operate charger
with damaged cord or plug; have them replaced immediately. Damaged plug or cord may
result in electric shock or re.
Do not insert battery pack in charger if battery pack case is cracked. Using damaged
battery pack may result in electric shock or re.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in anyway. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in
electric shock or re.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected,
do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself, take it to a
SKIL Factory Service Center, or qualied serviceman only using original spare parts.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or re.
Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal. There is a risk of electric shock.
Do not use attachment not recommended or sold by SKIL. Using attachments not
recommended may result in electric shock or re.

4
Do not store battery pack in charger. Battery pack stored in charger over a long period of
time could lead to battery pack damage and re.
Unplug charger from outlet before storage, attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or re.
Keep the battery charger clean by blowing compressed air on charger vents and wiping
the charger housing with a damp cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or re.
Replace battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per charge is observed.
Battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used
near children.
Do not use outdoors.
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of re and electrical
shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure:
a. The pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of plug
on charger.
b. The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
c. The wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specied below:

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES – À CONSERVER
INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER suivez rigoureusement ces instructions an de réduire les risques
d’incendie ou de choc électrique.
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES AU CHARGEUR
Ce guide contient des instructions pour le chargeur SC536501. Ne le remplacez par
aucun autre chargeur.
Avant d’utiliser le chargeur, lisez l’ensemble des instructions et des avertissements sur
(1) le chargeur, (2) le bloc-piles et (3) l’article alimenté par le bloc-piles.
Chargez uniquement les piles SKIL rechargeables mentionnées dans ce guide. Les
autres types de piles pourraient exploser et ainsi causer des blessures ou des dommages.
Chargez le bloc-piles dans la plage de température prescrite. Rangez le chargeur et
le bloc-piles dans un endroit où la température se situe dans la plage de température
de rangement recommandée. Cela est important pour éviter d’endommager gravement les
piles.
Ne rechargez pas le bloc-piles dans un endroit humide ou mouillé. N’exposez pas le
chargeur à la pluie ou àla neige. Une inltration d’eau dans le chargeur peut causer un choc
électrique ou un incendie.
Il se peut que le bloc-piles fuie dans des conditions d’utilisation intenses ou de
températures extrêmes. Évitez tout contact avec la peau et les yeux. Le liquide du bloc-piles
est caustique et peut causer des brûlures chimiques aux tissus. Si le liquide entre en contact
avec la peau, lavez-la rapidement avec de l’eau et du savon. Si le liquide entre en contact
avec vos yeux, rincez-les immédiatement avec de l’eau pendant au moins 10 minutes et
consultez un médecin.
Placez le chargeur sur une surface plate ininammable et à l’écart des matériaux
inammables lors de la recharge du bloc-piles. La moquette et les autres surfaces
calorifuges bloquent la circulation de l’air, ce qui peut entraîner une surchauffe du chargeur
et du bloc-piles. Si vous percevez de la fumée ou remarquez que le chargeur ou le bloc-piles
a fondu, débranchez immédiatement le chargeur et n’utilisez pas le bloc-piles ou le chargeur.
Communiquez immédiatement avec le service à la clientèle.
Gardez le cordon et le chargeur loin de la chaleur pour éviter d’endommager le boîtier
ainsi que les pièces internes. Ne laissez pas de l’essence, des huiles, des produits à
base de pétrole, des huiles dégrippantes ni d’autres produits de ce genre entrer en
contact avec les pièces en plastique. Ces matières contiennent des produits chimiques
pouvant endommager, affaiblir ou détruire le plastique.
Veillez à ce que le cordon ne soit pas placé dans un endroit où l’on pourrait marcher
dessus, l’accrocher ou lui faire subir un dommage ou une contrainte. Une che ou un
cordon endommagé peuvent entraîner un choc électrique ou un incendie.
Débranchez le chargeur en tirant sur la che plutôt que sur le cordon. N’utilisez
pas le chargeur si le cordon ou la che sont endommagés et faites-les remplacer
immédiatement le cas échéant. Une che ou un cordon endommagés peuvent entraîner un
choc électrique ou un incendie.
N’insérez pas le chargeur dans le bloc-piles si ce dernier est ssuré ou endommagé.
L’utilisation d’un bloc-piles endommagé peut causer un choc électrique ou un incendie.
Ne démontez pas et n’utilisez pas le chargeur si celui-ci a reçu un coup violent, s’il est
tombé par terre ou s’il a été endommagé d’une quelconque façon. Un réassemblage
incorrect ou des dommages peuvent entraîner un choc électrique ou un incendie.
Avant chaque utilisation, vériez l’état du chargeur, du cordon et de la che. Si vous
repérez des dommages, n’utilisez pas le chargeur. N’ouvrez jamais le chargeur vous-
même; apportez-le à un centre de service de l’usine de SKIL ou faites-le réparer avec
des pièces de rechange d’origine par un technicien qualié. Un réassemblage incorrect

20
peut entraîner un choc électrique ou un incendie.
Ne touchez pas à la partie non isolée du connecteur de sortie ni à la borne non isolée
de la pile. Un choc électrique pourrait s’ensuivre.
N’utilisez pas d’accessoires qui ne sont pas recommandés ou vendus par SKIL.
L’utilisation d’accessoires non recommandés peut entraîner un choc électrique ou un incendie.
Ne rangez pas le bloc-piles dans son chargeur. Un bloc-piles rangé dans son chargeur
peu, au l du temps, se détériorer et causer un incendie.
Débranchez le chargeur de la prise avant de le ranger ou de procéder à toute tâche
d’entretien ou de nettoyage. De telles mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent le risque
de choc électrique ou d’incendie.
Assurez-vous que le chargeur reste propre en soufant de l’air comprimé par ses
évents et en essuyant le boîtier à l’aide d’un linge humide. La saleté peut entraîner un
choc électrique ou un incendie.
Remplacez le bloc-piles si vous remarquez une baisse considérable de la durée de
fonctionnement par charge. Il se peut que le bloc-piles ait atteint la n de sa durée de vie
utile.
Lorsqu’un appareil est utilisé en présence d’enfants, une surveillance étroite doit être
exercée an de réduire les risques de blessure.
N’utilisez pas l’appareil à l’extérieur.
RALLONGES
AVERTISSEMENT N’utilisez pas de rallonge électrique à moins que cela soit
absolument nécessaire. L’utilisation d’une rallonge inadaptée
peut entraîner un risque d’incendie et de choc électrique. Si vous utilisez une rallonge
électrique, prenez les précautions suivantes :
a. Les broches de la che de la rallonge doivent être identiques en taille et en nombre à celles
de la che du chargeur.
