any other way, do not insert it in the charger. There is a
danger of electric shock or electrocution.
•
WARNING.
Do not allow any liquid to come into contact
with the charger. There is a danger of electric shock.
•
To 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.
•
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
•
The charger and battery packs supplied with it are
specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt to
charge the battery pack with any other charger than the
one supplied.
•
Do not place any object on top of the charger as it could
cause overheating. Do not place the charger near any
heat source.

Make sure that the charger cable is positioned where
it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.

necessary. The use of an improper extension cord could
cause the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.

Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
Take the charger to an authorised service centre for a
check and/or repair.

service centre when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire, electric
shock or electrocution.

To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to clean
it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce the risk.

Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F
(40°C) such as alongside sheds or metal structures in

household electrical supply (230–240 volts). Do not
attempt to connect the charger to a supply with a
different supply.
•
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.
