substitute any other charger.
• Donotrechargebatteryindamporwetenvironments.Do not expose battery pack to water or rain.
• Donotoperatechargerwithadamagedcordorplug.Replace immediately.
• Donotoperatechargerifithasreceivedasharpblow,been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to a qualified serviceman.
• Donotdisassemblechargerorbatterypack.Take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Donotchargebatterypackwhen temperature is below 50° F (10° C) or above 104° F (40° C). Store tool
and battery pack in a location where temperature will not exceed 122° F (50° C). This is important to prevent serious
damage to the battery cells.
• Placechargeronatnon-ammablesurfaceand away from flammable materials when recharging the
battery pack.
• Toreduceriskofelectricshock,unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
• Ifoperatingtimehasbecomeexcessivelyshorter,stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of
overheating, possible burns and even an explosion.
• Batteryleakagemayoccurunder extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, wash
them out with clear water for at least 10 minutes, and then seek medical attention right away.
• Donotattempttouseastep-uptransformer,an engine generator or DC power receptacle.

• Donotallowanythingtocoverorclogthechargervents.
• Donotincineratethebatterypackeven if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
• Disconnectchargerfromthepowersourcewhennotinuse.This will reduce the risk to electric
shock or damage to the charger if metal pieces should fall into the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
• Useonlythefollowingtypeandsizebattery:PLB14025(onlyuseforchargerPC1401).
