• Make sure that the charger lead is positioned
where it will not be stepped on, tripped over
or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. The use of an improper exten-
sion cord could cause the risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.
• Do not use the charger if it has been sub-
jected to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take the charger to an
authorized service center for a check or repair.
• Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to
an authorized service center when service or
repair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or elec-
trocution.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, un-
plug the charger from the power supply before
attempting to clean it. Removing the battery
pack alone does not reduce the risk.
• The charger is designed for use from a stan-
dard household electrical supply. Do not at-
tempt to connect the charger to a supply with
a different voltage.
• Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based
products, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR BATTERY PACK
• ALLOW YOUR BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DIS-
CHARGE. Ni-Cd batteries should always be fully
charged and discharged after each use. The
first few charges are vital and it is very impor-
tant that batteries are fully discharged during
the first few charges.
• To ensure the longest battery life and best
battery performance, always charge the bat-
tery when the temperature is between 0~40°C.
Do not charge the battery pack when the tem-
perature is below 0°C, or above 50°C. This is im-
portant. Failure to observe this safety rule could
cause serious damage to the battery pack.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it
is seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery
pack may occur under extreme usage or tem-
perature. This does not necessarily indicate a
failure of the battery pack. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage comes
into contact with your skin:
10
· Wash the affected area quickly with soap and
water.
· Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
If the leakage gets in your eyes:
· Flush your eyes with clean water for a mini-
mum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Inform the medical staff that the
liquid is from a Ni-Cd battery.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If the plastic housing of the bat-
tery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately
discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
• Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a
pocket or toolbox or any other place where it
may come into contact with metal objects. The
battery pack may be short circuited causing
damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire. If
storing or disposing the battery pack, cover the
terminals with a heavy insulation tape to en-
sure short circuit cannot occur. Batteries, when
stored for a long period of time, will discharge.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack
in locations where the temperature may reach
or exceed 50°C such as alongside sheds or met-
al structures in the summer.
• Allow the battery pack to cool down after
charging. Do not place it in a hot environment
such as a metal shed or open trailer left in the
sun.
• Only charge the battery with the charger sup-
plied.
