result in risk of re, electric shock or electrocution.
3.Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that may result in
excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a position
away from any heat source.
4.To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord,
pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting
the charger.
5.Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress.
6.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could
result in the risk of re, electric shock or electrocution.
7.Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Have it checked by an electrician or power tool repairer.
8.Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or
power tool repairer when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock, electrocution or re.
9.To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from
the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the
battery pack will not reduce this risk.
10.Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
11.DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
40ºC (such as inside sheds or metal buildings in
