Battery Charger Safety

• Charge only the RIDGID® rechargeable batteries
listed in the Accessories Section with the RIDGID
RBC 20 Advanced Lithium 18V Battery Charger.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal in-
jury and property damage.
• Do not probe battery charger with conductive ob-
jects. Shorting of battery terminals may cause sparks,
burns or electrical shock.
• Do not insert battery into charger if charger has
been dropped or damaged in any way. Damaged
charger increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Charge battery in temperatures above 41°F (5°C)
and below +104°F (40°C). Store charger and bat-
tery packs in temperatures above -4°F (-20°C) and
below +104°F (40°C). Proper care will prevent serious
damage to batteries. Improper care of batteries may
result in battery leakage, electrical shock or burns.
• Use an appropriate power source. Do not attempt
to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator
or DC power receptacle. May cause damage to char-
ger resulting in electrical shock, fire or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the charger while
in use. Proper ventilation is required for correct opera-
tion of charger. Covering vents may result in fire. Allow
a minimum of 4" (10 cm) of clearance around the char-
ger for proper ventilation.
• Unplug the charger when not in use. Reduces risk of
injury to children and untrained persons.
• D o not charge battery pack in damp, wet or explo-
sive environment. Do not expose to rain, snow or
dirt. Contaminants and moisture increase the risk of
electrical shock.
• D o not open the charger housing. Have repairs per-
formed only at authorized locations.
• D o not carry charger by power cord. Reduces risk of
electrical shock.
