WARNING!

Use only approved replacement batteries; 

other batteries may damage the chain saw and cause it to 

malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.

m

CAUTION!

 To reduce the risk of injury, charge the 

iON100V-2.5AMP battery pack or the iON100V-5AMP battery 

pack only in their compatible charger (model iON100V-RCH). 

Other types of chargers present risk of fire, personal injury, and 

damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a power supply plug or 

car cigarette lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or 

damage the battery pack.

• 

Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the 

battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations. 

Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of 

explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable 

materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting 

or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire.

• 

Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the 

charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper 

ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a 

charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.

  NOTE:

 The safe temperature range for the battery is -4°F 

(-20°C) to 113°F (45°C). Do not charge the battery outside 

in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature. 

• 

Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger, pull 

the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce the 

risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord. Never carry 

the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord to disconnect 

it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away from heat, oil 

and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not be stepped 

on, tripped over or subjected to damage or stress when the 

charger is in use. Do not use the charger with a damaged 

cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger immediately.

• 

Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely 

necessary – 

Using the wrong, damaged or improperly 

wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric shock. 

If an extension cord must be used, plug the charger into a 

properly wired 18 gauge or larger extension cord with the 

female plug matching the male plug on the charger. Make 

sure that the extension cord is in good electrical condition.

• 

Charger iON100V-RCH is rated for 100 – 120 volt AC only – 

The charger must be plugged into an appropriate receptacle.

• 

Use only recommended attachments –

 Use of an 

attachment not recommended or sold by the battery 

charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk of 

fire, electric shock or personal injury.

• 

Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove 

battery pack from unplugged chargers.

m

WARNING! 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or 

maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. 

Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce 

shock hazards.

• 

Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery  

packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage. 

Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery packs 

are burned.

• 

Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not 

use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained a 

sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been damaged 

in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, 

stepped on, etc.).

• 

Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose 

a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic 

battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged, 

please contact

• 

Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a 

damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. 

If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use 

rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin 

is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with 

soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed 

to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20 

minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose 

of contaminated clothing.

• 

Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if 

a metal object makes a connection between the positive 

and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a 

battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit, 

such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other 

metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a risk 

of fire and severe personal injury.

• 

Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry 

place –

Do not store the battery pack or charger where 

temperatures may exceed 104ºF (40ºC), such as in 

direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during 

the summer.

Protection from environmental influences

1.  Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2.  Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from 

moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous 

cell damage.

3.  Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near 

vapors and flammable liquids.

4. 

Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry 

conditions and at an ambient temperature of 50°F – 104°F 

(10°C – 40°C).

5.  Do not keep the battery charger in places where the 

temperature is liable to reach over 104°F (40°C). In 

particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is 

parked in the sunshine.

6.  Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, 

overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result 

in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work 

with batteries that have been overheated – replace them 

immediately, if possible.
