IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CHARGER
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual
contains important safety and operating
instructions for charger part number 1423701.
Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings in this manual, on charger,
and product using charger.
To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-
cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other
types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
Do not expose charger to wet or damp
conditions.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
To reduce risk of damage to charger and cord,
pull by charger plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
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.
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' 50' 100'
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
DO NOT OPERATE CHARGER WITH A
DAMAGED CORD OR PLUG. If damaged,
have replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman.
Do not operate charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified
serviceman. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal
injury.
Do not disassemble charger; take it to a
qualified serviceman 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
from outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce
this risk.
Do not use charger outdoors.
Disconnect charger from power supply when
not in use.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct others who
may use this tool. If you loan someone this tool,
loan them these instructions also.
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 ex-
amples 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.
RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
The operation of any power tool can result in foreign objects being thrown into your
eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation,
always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield
when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or
standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
