Important Safety Instructions For Battery Packs; Storage Recommendations For Batteries - Jacto DJB-20S Operator's Manual

• Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix
charger to any surface. The charger is intended to use on
a flat, stable surface (i.e., table top, bench top).
• 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 authorized service center.
• Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized
service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electro-
cution or fire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before at-
tempting 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.
• Battery chargers contain electronic parts. Dispose
of properly.
5.1. Charging procedure
JACTO charger supplied with this sprayer is designed to charge JACTO batteries of
the JB line. The JB1680 model is charged in 5 hours.
1. Remove the battery from the sprayer.
2.
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before connecting the battery
pack. Make sure the AC cord is well attached to the charger.
3.
Connect the charger plug to the battery pack connector.
4. The charge light will remain red/orange while charging.
5.
When battery pack is fully charged, charge light will change its color to
green.
6.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, disconnect the battery from the
charger.
7.
Unplug charger cord from outlet.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible or battery life may be
greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.
It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
5.2. Important charging notes
• DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 0°C or above
45°C. This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
• The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a shed.
• Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out. The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the bat-
tery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come in to contact with the skin, immediately wash
area with mild soap and water. If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water
over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is
needed, the battery electrolyte for Li-ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liq-
uid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation. Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
• Disposal of used batteries must be made at appropriate points and ap-
proved for receiving such material. If a recycling center is not available in your
area please contact CUSTOMER SERVICE: Dr. Luiz Miranda Street, 1650 CEP 17580-
000 - Pompeia - SP - Phone: +55 (14) 3405-2113 - email: assistencia.tecnicajsfs@
jacto.com.br - Opening Hours: Monday to Friday from 07h00 am to 11h30 am and

WARNING!
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed
to spark or flame.
Charge the battery packs only in JACTO chargers.
•
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
This may cause premature cell failure.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 113°F (45 ºC).
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
connect to charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has been dropped, run over or damaged in any way
(i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service center for recycling.
• Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that
metal objects can contact exposed battery ter-
minals. For example, do not place battery in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. Certain regulations prohibit transporting batteries
on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short
circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make
sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and
cause a short circuit. NOTE: Batteries should not be
put in checked baggage.

6.1. Storage recommendations for batteries

• Store battery packs in clean, dry place and away from direct sunlight and ex-
cess heat or cold.
• Store batteries out of reach of children.
• For storage periods of more than one month, store battery with half charge.
This extends battery life.
