•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
SERVICE

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the charger is maintained.
•When servicing a charger, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

SAFETY RULES FOR A CHARGER
! caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger and battery, charge
only those lithium-ion rechargeable batteries specifically designated on your charger’s label.
Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
•Before using the battery charger, read all the instructions and cautionary markings in this
manual and on the battery charger, the battery and the product using the battery charger,
the battery and the product using the battery to prevent misuse of the products and possible
injury or damage.
•Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions. Water entering
the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not handle charger, including the charger plug and charger terminals with wet hands.
•Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery-charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
•Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
•Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the
charger cord to disconnect the plug from a receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could
occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
•Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress.
This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury and damage to the cord,
which could then result in electric shock.
•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.
