Charger Safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read
these precautions carefully before using
the battery charger or battery
Battery Charger Safety
• Charge only the RIDGID rechargeable
battery listed in the Accessories Sec -
tion with the RIDGID Battery Charger.
Other types of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and property damage.
• Do not probe battery charger with con-
ductive objects. Shorting of battery termi-
nals may cause sparks, burns or electrical
shock.
• Do not insert battery into charger if
charger has been dropped or damaged
in any way. A damaged charger increases
the risk of electrical shock.
• Charge battery in temperatures above
32°F (0°C) and below 122°F (50°C). Store
charger in temperatures above -4°F (-20°C)
and below 104°F (40°C). Storage for a long
time at temperatures above 104°F (40°C)
can reduce the capacity of the battery.
Proper care will prevent serious damage to
the battery. Improper care of the battery
may result in battery leakage, electrical
shock and burns.
• Use an appropriate power source. Do
not attempt to use a step-up transformer or
an engine generator, doing so may cause
damage to the charger resulting in electri-
cal shock, fire or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the
charg er while in use. Proper ventilation is
required for correct operation of the
charger. Allow a minimum of 4" (10 cm) of
clearance around the charger for proper
ventilation.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.
This reduces the risk of injury to children
and untrained persons.
• Unplug the charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or clean-
ing. Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not charge battery in damp, wet or
explosive environment. Do not expose to
rain, snow or dirt. Contaminants and mois-
ture increase the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not open the charger housing. Have
repairs performed only at authorized lo-
cations.
• Do not carry charger by power cord.
Reduces the risk of electrical shock.
• The RIDGID Battery Charger is not intend -
ed for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the RIDGID Battery Charger by a per-
son responsible for their safety.
• Keep children and by-standers away
while operating equipment. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
• Have your equipment (including power
supply cord) serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. If the equipment is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a
hazard. This will ensure that the safety of
the tool is maintained.
Battery Safety
• Properly dispose of the battery. Ex po -
sure to high temperatures can cause the
battery to explode, so do not dispose of in
a fire. Place tape over the terminals to
prevent direct contact with other objects.
Some countries have regulations concern-
ing battery disposal. Please follow all appli-
cable regulations.
• Do not insert the battery with cracked
case into charger. Damaged batteries in-
crease the risk of electrical shock.
• Never disassemble battery. There are
no user-serviceable parts inside the bat-
tery. Disassembling batteries may cause
electrical shock or personal injury.
• Avoid contact with fluids oozing from
defective battery. Fluids may cause burns
or skin irritation. Thoroughly rinse with
water in case of accidental contact with
fluid. Consult doctor if fluid comes into
contact with eyes.
