Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorised service centre when service or re-
pair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may re-
sult in the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug
the charger from the power supply before at-
tempting to clean it. Removing the battery alone
does not reduce the risk.

If you wish to charge a second battery pack,
unplug the charger from the mains supply and
leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time
you can charge a second battery pack.
▪
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, aluminium foil, or any build-up
of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no bat-
tery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
▪
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or
any other liquid.
