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 the charger with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not operate the 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 the charger; take it to an authorized
service center 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 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

Be sure to read all safety instructions
before using your charger. Consult the
chart at the end of this manual for
compatibility of chargers and battery
packs.
Charging Procedure
(Fig. 1)
1. Plug the charger into an appropriate
outlet before inserting the battery
pack.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide a dry
location and use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge
has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure
each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
