Additional safety rules for the
charging system
1. Before using the charging system, read all the
instructions and cautionary markings on the adaptor
charger, charging stand and battery pack as well as the
instructions on using the battery pack.
2. Only charge your batteries indoors as the charging
system is designed for indoor use only.
3. DANGER. If the battery pack is cracked or damaged in
any other way, do not insert it in the charging slide.
There is a danger of electric shock or electrocution.
4. WARNING. Do not allow any liquid to come into
contact with the charging system. There is a danger
of electric shock.
5. 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.
6. The charging system is not intended for any use other
than charging the exact type of rechargeable battery pack
as supplied with the charging system. Any other use may
result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
7. The charging system and battery packs supplied with it
are specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt
to charge the battery pack with any other charging
system than the one supplied.
8. Do not place any object on top of the charging slide as
it could cause overheating. Do not place the charging
system near any heat source.
9. Pull only on the plug, not the power cord, to disconnect
the charger from the power source.
10. Make sure that the charging system cable is positioned
where it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
11. Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord could
cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
12. Do not use the charging system if it has been subjected
to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in
any way. Take the charging system to an authorised
service centre for a check or repair.
13. Do not disassemble the charging system. Take it to
an authorised service centre when service or repair is
required. Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of
fire, electric shock or electrocution.
14. To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
adaptor charger from the power supply before
attempting to clean it. Removing the battery
alone does not reduce the risk.
15. Never attempt to connect two charging systems together.
16. Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40°C (104°F) such as alongside sheds or
metal structures in the summer.
17. The charger is designed for use from a standard
household electrical supply (230–240 volts).
Do not attempt to connect the adaptor charger to a
supply with a different voltage.
Additional safety rules for the battery pack
1. The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack
fully, approximately 1 hour, before use.
2. To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 18–24°C (65–75°F). Do not
charge the battery pack when the temperature is below
4°C (40°F), or above 40°C (104°F). This is important.
Failure to observe this safety rule could cause serious
damage to the battery pack.
