IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CHARGER OR ADAPTER
The term “charger or adapter” in the safety instructions
refers to your battery charger or AC/DC adapter.
WARNING
Death or serious bodily injury could result from
improper or unsafe use of charger or adapter.
To avoid these risks, follow these basic safety
instructions:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This manual contains important safety and operating
instructions for battery charger Model UC18YSL3 or
AC/DC adapter Model ET36A.
2. Before using charger or adapter, read all instructions
and cautionary markings on (1) charger or adapter, (2)
battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. To reduce risk of injury, charge metabo HPT
rechargeable battery models of the multi volt series.
Other models of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the charger or adapter manufacturer may result in a
risk of
fi
re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting charger or adapter.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of
fi
re 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
charger or adapter:
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 or adapter as speci
fi
ed in Table 1.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger
or adapter from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will
not reduce this risk.
12. This AC/DC adapter is for use only with speci
fi
c tools,
including EC36DA. The adapter might be suitable for
use with other metabo HPT battery operated tools. It
is necessary to con
fi
rm suitability by referencing the
instruction manual of the speci
fi
c tool or by consulting
our web site https://www.metabo-hpt.com/. Failure
to con
fi
rm suitability before using the adapter with
speci
fi
c tools could result in
fi
re hazard.

* If the input rating of a charger or adapter 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 amperes
125 volts
8. Do not operate charger or adapter with damaged cord
or plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate charger or adapter if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a quali
fi
ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble charger or adapter; take it to
a quali
fi
ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or
fi
re.
