The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Note: Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a. Explosive gases: avoid flames and sparks, make sure the workplace is
well ventilated during charging.
b. The load contains components such as the switch and the fuse that can
cause arcing and sparks. Make sure the garage or room is well ventilated.
c. For indoor use, do not expose to rain or moisture.
d. Do not place the charger on a hot surface.
e. There is an acute risk of explosion if there is a gas odor. Disconnect the
charging clamps, ventilate the room immediately and completely, have a
dealer inspect the charger.
2) Electrical safety
a. The charger is designed for 12V and 24V lead acid batteries.
b. Never use the device to charge non-rechargeable batteries or defective
batteries.
c. Do not charge multiple batteries simultaneously.
d. Do not short-circuit the charging clamps.
e. This charger is not suitable for maintenance-free batteries.
f. Never use the cord for any other purpose than its intended use.
g. Indicate the polarity correctly, the anode is red / sign (+), the cathode is

h. Voltage spikes can damage electronic components. Therefore, it is
advisable to disconnect the battery from the system during charging.
3) Personal security
