Stanley SCH12 Original Instructions Manual page 6

ENGLISH
(Original instructions)
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of
fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• Do not place any object on top of charger or place the
charger on a soft surface that might block the ventilation
slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger
in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have
them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to
an authorised service centre.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized
service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution
or fire.
• In case of damaged power supply cord the supply cord must be
replaced immediately by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similar qualified person to prevent any hazard.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting
any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Chargers
The SC121 accept 10.8V batteries.
These chargers require no adjustment and are designed to be as
easy as possible to operate.
Charging Procedure (fig. B)
1. Plug the charger (10) into an appropriate outlet before inserting
battery pack.
2. Insert the battery pack (7) into the charger. The red (charging)
light will blink continuously indicating that the charging process
has started.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red light
remaining ON continuously. The pack is fully charged and may
be used at this time or left in the charger.
NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of Li-Ion
batteries, charge the battery pack fully before first use.
Charging Process
Refer the tables below for the state of charge of the battery pack.

HOT/COLD PACK DELAY
When the charger detects a battery that is hot, it automatically
delays charging until the battery has cooled.
When the charger detects a battery that is cold, it automatically
delays charging until the battery has warmed.
The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery has
cooled, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume
the charging procedure.
Electronic protection system
Li-Ion batteries are designed with an Electronic Protection System
that will protect the battery against overloading, overheating or
deep discharge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the Li-Ion battery on the
charger until it is fully charged.
Important Safety Instructions for All Battery Packs
When ordering replacement battery packs, be sure to include
catalog number and voltage.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. Before
using the battery pack and charger, read the safety instructions
below. Then follow charging procedures outlined.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the battery from the charger may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible charger
as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in STANLEY chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 40 ˚C (105 ˚F)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in
any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Electric shock or electrocution may result. Damaged battery
packs should be returned to service centre for recycling.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a
stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand
upright on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
