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.
2. Insert the battery pack (G) into the charger,

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.

• Do not place any object on top of the 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 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.
