Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Packs - Stanley NB08PT-18 Instruction Manual

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result..
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of 30mA
or less.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT® rechargeable batteries.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into 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 build-up 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 DEWALT® 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.
•
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 authorised service centre when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
•
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 two chargers together.
•
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (refer to charger specifications). Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.
