Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual
contains important safety and operating instruc tions
for the DE9116/DE9135 battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and
cautionary markings on charger, battery pack,
and product using battery pack.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. 230
volts are present at charging terminals.
Do not probe with conductive objects.
Electric shock or electrocution may
result.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside charger. Electric
shock may result.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce
the risk of injury, charge only D
rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions,
with the charger plugged in to the
power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature such
as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the
charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity.
Unplug charger before attempting to
clean.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack
with any chargers other than the ones in
this manual. The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for
any uses other than charging D
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk
of damage to electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• 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.
