◾
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling, or unplugging the charger. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
◾
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such
as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
◾
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
◾
The EGO charger can charge the EGO lithium-ion
battery packs listed below:

maintained.
◾
When servicing a charger, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

person responsible for their safety.
◾
Before using the battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings in this manual
and on the battery charger, the battery and the product

◾
Do not handle charger, including the charger plug
and charger terminals with wet hands.
◾
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.
◾
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.
◾
Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the
cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord
to disconnect the plug from a receptacle. Damage to
the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
◾
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise
be subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce
the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury
and damage to the cord, which could then result in
electric shock.
◾
Keep the cord and charger from heat to prevent
damage to housing or internal parts.
◾
Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based
products, etc. to come in contact with plastic
parts. These materials contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
◾
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
or plug, which could cause shorting and electric
shock. If damaged, have the charger repaired or
replaced by an authorized service technician at an EGO
Service Center.
◾
Do not operate the charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or has otherwise been
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service
technician for an electrical check to determine if the
charger is in good working order.
◾
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorized service technician when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
◾
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet
before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
◾
Disconnect charger from the power supply when
not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock
or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into
the opening. It will also help prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
◾
Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated
portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
