Electrical Safety for Charger
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
• Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations
• Do not use battery operated appliance in rain
• Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or
removing material from the gardening appliance.
• Use only the battery recommended by manufacturer.
•
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire.
The cell
may explode. Check with local codes for possible special
disposal instructions.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies).
Released
electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes
or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
•
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to
short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery or conductor may
overheat and cause burns.

when the battery is properly inserted into the charger
stand.
