IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGER
Never use a battery that has been dropped or received
a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explo-
sion. Properly dispose of a dropped battery immedi-
ately. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious
personal injury.
Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery
charger, and product using battery charger. Follow-
ing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel-cad-
mium and nickel metal hydride type rechargeable
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst
causing personal injury and damage. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious personal injury.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
To reduce the risk of damage to charger body and
cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
Make sure cord is located to that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to
damage or stress. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If exten-
sion cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on
charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating
of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet)
Cord Size (AWG)
Note: AWG = American Wire Gage
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug.
If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified
serviceman. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

WARNING:
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
