Use and Care Manual
•  Do not operate the 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 disassemble the 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 this risk.
•  NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•  The charger is designed to operate on standard 120V 
household electrical power. Do not attempt to use it on any 
other voltage. This does not apply to the vehicular charger.

Charge Indicators 
This charger is designed to detect certain problems that can arise. 
Problems are indicated by the red light flashing at a fast rate. If this 
occurs, re-insert the battery pack into the charger. If the problem 
persists, try a different battery pack to determine if the charger is 
working properly. If the new pack charges correctly, then the original 
pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or other 
collection site for recycling. If the new battery pack elicits the same 
trouble indication as the original, have the charger and the battery 
pack tested at an authorized service center.
