Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for the
57546 battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and
product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts
are present at charging terminals. Do not
probe with conductive objects. Electric
shock or electrocution may result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk
of injury, charge only Berner rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with
the charger plugged in to the power supply,
the exposed charging contacts inside the
charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature
such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from
the power supply when there is no battery
pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses
other than charging Berner rechargeable
batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fi re,
electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting
charger. This will reduce risk of damage to electric
plug and cord.
• Make sure that 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 fi re, electric shock, or
electrocution.

designed to be as easy as possible to operate.

Charging Procedure

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. When using more than one extension
to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
Do not place any object on top of 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 charger with damaged cord or
plug — have them replaced immediately.
Do not operate 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 charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair
is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk
of electric shock, electrocution or fi re.
Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the
risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack
will not reduce this risk.
NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
The charger is designed to operate on standard
230V household electrical power. Do not attempt
to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply
to the vehicular charger.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230 volts
present at charging terminals. Do not probe
with conductive objects. Danger of electric
shock or electrocution.
Plug the charger (i) into an appropriate outlet before
inserting battery pack.
Insert the battery pack (g) into the charger. The red
(charging) light will blink continuously indicating that
the charging process has started.
