IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important safety instructions for battery chargers.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product
using battery pack.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only designated Chapin batteries. Other types
of batteries my burst causing personal injury and damage.
CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any build up of metalic partices should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug
the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unlplug charger before
attempting to clean.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated Chapin
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to
electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16
gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the
total lenght, be sure each idividual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate 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 dissassemble 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 the risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120Volts). Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
