Use and Care Manual

2 — English
 Donotchargebatteryinadamporwetlocation.Do
not use, store, or charge battery packs or products in
locations where the temperature is less than 50°F or more
than 100°F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Alwaysweareyeprotectionwithsideshieldsmarked
tocomplywithANSIZ87.1.Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in pos-
sible serious injury.
 Anextensioncordshouldnotbeusedunlessabso-
lutely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 pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of plug on 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 charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25’ 50’ 100’
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
 Thechargershouldbemountedintheverticalposition
orrestingonitsbaseduringuse.
 Donotoperatechargerwithadamagedcordorplug,
which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged,
have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
 Donotoperatechargerifithasreceivedasharpblow,
beendropped,orotherwisedamagedinanyway.
Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check
to determine if the charger is in good working order.
 Donotdisassemblecharger.Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
 Unplugchargerfromoutletbefore attempting any
maintenanceorcleaningtoreducetheriskofelectric
shock.
 Disconnectchargerfromthepowersupplywhen
notinuse.This will reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the
opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger
during a power surge.
Riskofelectricshock. Do not touch uninsulated portion
of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
 Savetheseinstructions.Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
WARNING!
READANDUNDERSTANDALLINSTRUCTIONS.Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
 Beforeusingcharger, read all instructions and caution-
ary markings in this manual, on charger, battery, and
product using battery to prevent misuse of the products
and possible injury or damage.
WARNING:
Charge only RYOBI lithium-ion rechargeable battery
packs. Other types of batteries may burst, causing per-
sonal injury or damage. For compatible battery packs see
tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supple-
ment 987000-432.
 Donotusechargeroutdoorsorexposetowetordamp
conditions.Water entering charger will increase the risk
of electric shock.
WARNING:
Do not charge a battery that is wet or has been wet or
exposed to liquids.
 Useofanattachmentnotrecommendedorsoldbythe
batterychargermanufacturermayresultinariskof
fire,electricshock,orinjurytopersons.Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
personal injury.
 Donotabusecordorcharger.Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than
the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage
to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. If cord or charger is damaged, have the
charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
 Makesurecordislocatedsothatitwillnotbestepped
on,trippedover,comeincontactwithsharpedges
ormovingpartsorotherwisesubjectedtodamageor
stress.This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which
could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which could
result in electric shock.
 Keepcordandchargerfromheattopreventdamage
tohousingorinternalparts.
 Donotletgasoline,oils,petroleum-basedprod-
ucts,etc.comeincontactwithplasticparts.They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or de-
stroy plastic.
