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.
•
Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
•
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 the
summer.
•
The charger is designed for use from a standard
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

Additional safety instructions for the
battery pack
•
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack fully
before use.
•
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
•
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 18–24°C. Do not charge the
battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or
above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe this
safety rule could cause serious damage to the
battery pack.
•
When battery pack is not in use keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•
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.
•
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open
or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it.
•
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
•
The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells. Cadmium is
considered to be a toxic material. Use an environmentally
safe disposal unit at a municipal waste disposal centre to
dispose of a damaged or worn out battery.
