Bostitch GF28WW Operation And Maintenance Manual page 7

Do not operate battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged
in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, death or fire.
Don't allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. To facilitate the cooling of the
battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an
uninsulated trailer.
Death or serious bodily injury could result from improper or unsafe use of battery chargers. To avoid these
risks, follow these basic safety instructions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This manual contains important safety and
operating instructions for Bostitch battery chargers
9B12071R or 9B12073R.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger,
(2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. To reduce risk of injury, charge only Bostitch
rechargeable batteries 9B12070R or 9B12072R.
Other types of batteries may burst causing
personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose battery charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by Bostitch may result in a risk of fire, electical
shock, or personal injury.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
only pull by plug when disconnecting battery charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same number,
size, and shape as those of plug on battery charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating
of battery charger as specified in Table 1.
9. Do not operate battery charger with a damaged cord
or plug, Replace them immediately.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE BATTERY CHARGER
1. Use the battery charger correctly.
Do not use the battery charger other than with a DC
12V in-car power source. The battery charger is solely
for use on nagative-grounded vehicles. Make sure that
the negative pole of the car battery is connected to the
car body.
2. Keep your attention focused on driving the car.
If you use the battery charger while driving, fasten the
battery charger in place so that it does not move
inadvertently and distract your attention from driving.
Do not place the battery charger or battery under the
driver's seat, irrespective of whether it is charging or
not, as it may get under the brake pedal or the cable
may get wrapped around the driver's feet and cause an
accident.

* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in
watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding
ampere rating is to be determined by dividing the
wattage rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts

10. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will
not reduce this risk.
11. This battery charger might be attached to Bostitch
