The RBRC® Seal
The RBRC® (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries
(or battery packs) indicates that the costs
to recycle these batteries (or battery
packs) at the end of their useful life have already been
paid by CRAFTSMAN. In some areas, it is illegal to place
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and
the Call 2 Recycle® program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with CRAFTSMAN and
other battery users, has established the program in the
United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion
batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve
natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion batteries to an
authorized service center or to your local retailer for
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center
for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

Transportation
WARNING:
or carry the battery pack so that metal objects
can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with
conductive materials such as keys, coins,
hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations
(HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes in carry-on baggage
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual battery packs, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: LI-ion batteries should not
be put in checked baggage.
Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
WARNING:
instructions, and cautionary markings for the
battery pack, charger and product. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
•
DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
Fire hazard. Do not store
Read all safety warnings,
CRAFTSMAN charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
These chargers are not intended for any uses other
•
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
or electrocution.
•
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the cord is located so that 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. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
•
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
•
An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
When using more than one extension to make up the
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Do not place any object on top of the charger or
•
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of the housing.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
•
or plug–have them replaced immediately.
•
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service center.
•
Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair is
