Additional safety rules for the charger
• Before using the charger, read all the instructions and
cautionary markings on the charger and battery pack as
well as the instructions on using the battery pack.
• Only charge your batteries indoors as the charger is
designed for indoor use only.
• DANGER. If the battery pack is cracked or damaged in
any other way, do not insert it in the charger. There is
a danger of electric shock or electrocution.
• WARNING. Do not allow any liquid to come into contact
with the charger. There is a danger of electric shock.
• To allow the battery pack to cool down after charging,
do not place it in a hot environment such as a metal
shed or open trailer left in the sun.
• 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.
• The charger and battery packs supplied with it are
specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt
to charge the battery pack with any other charger than
the one supplied.
• Do not place any object on top of the charger as it
could cause overheating. Do not place the charger near
any heat source.
• Do not pull on the lead of the charger to disconnect it
from the power source.
• Make sure that the charger cable is positioned where
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord could
cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take the charger to an authorised service centre
for a check or repair.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorised service centre when service or repair is
required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to
clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce
the risk.
• Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or exceed
104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds or metal
structures in the summer.
• The charger is designed for use from a standard
household electrical supply (230–240 volts). Do not
attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a
different supply.
• If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug
the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at
least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a
second battery pack.
Additional safety rules for the battery pack
• The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack
fully before use.
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 18–24°C. Do not charge the
battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C,
or above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe
this safety rule could cause serious damage to the
battery pack.
