tor or DC power source. Use only 120V
AC.

PROTECTIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL CAP
A protective battery terminal cap is provided
for use whenever the battery is out of the tool
or charger. Remove cap before placing battery
in charger or tool.
b. An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of
power and overheating. 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
extension contains at least the minimum
wire size.

SAFETY WARNINGS
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Remington brand may result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
6. An extension cord should not be used un-
less absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fi re,
electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-
wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only
round jacketed extension cords should
be used, and we recommend that they
be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.). If the extension is to be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked for
outdoor use can also be used for indoor
work. The letters “W” or “WA” on the
cord jacket indicate that the cord is suit-
able for outdoor use.

7. Use only the supplied charger (P/N
121397-01)when charging. The use of any
other charger could damage the battery or
create a hazardous condition.
8. Use only one charger when charging.
9. Use only Remington RB18V1 or RBE18V1
battery packs with this product.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside. If
damaged, call DESA Power Tools Techni-
cal Service.
11. DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even
if they are severely damaged or completely
worn out. The batteries can explode in a
fi re.
12. A small leakage of liquid from the battery
pack cells may occur under extreme usage,
charging, or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
• If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,
fl ush them with clean water for a mini-
mum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
13. DO NOT open or mutilate the batteries.
Released electolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes and skit. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium
hydroxide.
