Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3)
product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied
your product or direct replacement as
listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not
substitute any other charger. Use only Skil
approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the
charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Replace damaged cord or plugs
immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage
may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to rain
or snow. If battery case is cracked or
otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Skil approved rechargeable
batteries. See Functional Description and
Specifications. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above
+32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below

these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

+113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool
and battery pack in locations where
temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F
(49 degrees C). This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with
skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the
liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack.
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation which may
cause overheating of the charger and battery
pack. If smoke or melting of the case are
observed unplug the charger immediately and
do not use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Skil will result in a risk
of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
