RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of plug
on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25 ft. 50 ft. 100 ft.
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
8. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug. Replace immediately.
9. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER.
10. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a RYOBI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
from outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF
CHARGER AND BATTERY
1. Do not charge battery when temperature is below
50° F (10° C) or above 95° F (35° C).
2. Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
3. The charger is designed to operate on standard
household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage.
4. Consecutive charging may cause overheating. If
you need to recharge batteries consecutively,
wait for about 15 minutes to allow charger to cool.
5. Do not insert foreign matter into the hole for the
battery in charger stand.
6. Do not charge by means of an engine generator
or DC power source.
7. Do not disassemble the battery.
8. Do not store the tool and battery in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed
104° F (40° C), such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer.
9. Do not incinerate the battery, even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery
may explode in fire.
10. Battery leakage may occur under conditions of
extreme usage or temperature. If liquid comes in
contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and
water, then with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid
gets in your eyes, wash with water for at least 10
minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
11. Do not short-circuit the battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
