RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
■ To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting charger/charging assembly.
■ Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
■ 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/charging assembly.
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/charging assembly as
specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25 ft. 50 ft. 100 ft.
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
■ Do not operate charger/charging assembly with
damaged cord or plug. Replace immediately.
■ Do not operate charger/charging assembly if it
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or
otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a RYOBI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
■ Do not disassemble charger/charging assembly;
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.
■ To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger/
charging assembly from outlet before attempting
any maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls
will not reduce this risk.
PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF
CHARGER/CHARGING ASSEMBLY AND
BATTERY
■ Do not charge battery when temperature is below
50° F (10° C) or above 95° F (35° C).
■ Never attempt to connect two charger/charging
assemblies together.
■ The charger/charging assembly is designed to
operate on standard household electrical power.
Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
■ Consecutive charging may cause overheating. If
you need to recharge batteries consecutively,
wait for about 15 minutes to allow charger/charging
assembly to cool.
■ Do not insert foreign matter into the hole for the
battery in charging assembly.
■ Do not charge by means of an engine generator
or DC power source.
■ Do not disassemble the battery.
■ 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.
■ Do not incinerate the battery, even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery
may explode in fire.
■ 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.
■ Do not short-circuit the battery.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions.
It means attention!!! Your safety is involved.
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.
