Additional Safety Warnings
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
a. This manual contains instructions for
battery charger model GAL12V-20. Do
not substitute any other charger.
b. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery pack,
and (3) product using battery.
c. Charge only Dremel rechargeable
batteries listed on page 12. Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
d. Charge battery pack in temperatures
above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and
below +113 degrees F (45 degrees C).
Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures will not exceed 120
degrees F (49 degrees C). This is
important to prevent serious damage to
the battery cells.
e. Do not recharge battery in damp or wet
environment. Do not expose charger to
rain or snow. Water entering battery
charger may result in electric shock or
fire.
f. Battery leakage may occur under
extreme usage or temperature
conditions. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and
could cause chemical burns to tissues. If
liquid comes in contact with skin, wash
quickly with soap and water. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
g. Place charger on flat nonflammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when recharging battery pack.
Carpeting and other heat insulating
surfaces block proper air circulation
which may cause overheating of the
charger and battery pack. If smoke or
melting of the charger or battery pack is
observed, unplug the charger immediately
and do not use the battery pack or
charger. Contact customer service
immediately.
h. Make sure cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or
stress. Damaged plug and cord may
result in electric shock or fire.
i. Disconnect the charger by pulling the
plug rather than the cord. Do not
operate charger with damaged cord or
plug; have them replaced immediately.
Damaged plug or cord may result in
electric shock or fire.
j. Do not insert battery pack in charger if
battery pack case is cracked. Using
damaged battery pack may result in
