Inspection and Set-up

WARNING
daily before use, inspect the charger and batteries
and correct any problems. Set up charger according
to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury
from electric shock, fire and other causes, and to
prevent tool and system damage.
1. Make sure the charger is unplugged. Inspect the
power cord, charger and batteries for damage or
modifications, or broken, worn, missing, misaligned or
binding parts. If any problems are found, do not use
