Battery Charge Safety
• Charge only the RIDGID rechargeable
battery listed in the Accessories Sec-
tion with the RIDGID Battery Charger
(Catalog Number 30758). Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury
and property damage.
• Do not probe battery charger with con-
ductive objects. Shorting of battery termi-
nals may cause sparks, burns or electrical
shock.
• Do not insert battery into charger if
charger has been dropped or damaged
in any way. A damaged charger increases
the risk of electrical shock.
• Charge battery in temperatures above
41 degrees F ( 5 degrees C) and below
113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store
charger and battery pack in temperatures
above -40°F (-40°C) and below 104°F
(40°C). Storage for a long time at tem-
peratures above 104F can reduce the ca-
pacity of the battery. Proper care will pre-
vent serous damage to the battery.
Improper care of the battery may result
battery leakage, electrical shock and burns

charger while in use. Proper ventilation is
required for correct operation of the char-
ger. Allow a minimum of 4" (10 cm) of
clearance around the charger for proper
ventilation.
