READ BEFORE USE
Warnings:
Before using this battery charger, please read
the instructions and cautions on the battery
charger.
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the
specified battery type. Other types of batteries
might burst, causing personal injury or damage
to your charger.
An extension cord should not be used. Its use
might result in fire or electric shock. Connect the
charger directly to a standard AC power outlet.
Do not recharge a battery pack that is damaged
or leaking. Take it to a qualified service techni-
cian.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the
charger from the outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning.
Be sure to have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician. Improper connection can
result in an electric shock. The charger should
never be used as the DC power source for any
electrical equipment.
Periodically examine the charger for conditions
that might result in a risk of fire, electric shock,
or injury to yourself, children, or others. If you
observe any breaks in the housing or other con-
ditions that appear different than when you first
purchased the charger, do not use it until it is
properly repaired by a qualified service techni-
cian.
Cautions:
After use, a battery pack will be hot. Wait at least
20 minutes until the battery pack cools down
before recharging it. Charging a warm or hot
battery pack greatly reduces the number of
times the battery pack can be recharged.
If the battery pack is wet, thoroughly dry it before
charging. Do not charge the battery if the pack
shows signs of leakage or corrosion.
