7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fi re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
battery charger:
* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in watts
rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere
rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage
rating by the voltage rating―for example:
1,250 watts
= 10 amperes
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualifi ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fi re.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from
receptacle before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this
risk.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF THE BATTERY AND
BATTERY CHARGER
You must charge the battery before you can use the power
tool. Before using the model UC18YFSL / UC18YKSL
battery charger, be sure to read all instructions and
cautionary statements on it, the battery and in this manual.
CAUTION
USE ONLY metabo HPT BATTERY TYPES BSL18
SERIES. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY
BURST AND CAUSE INJURY!
Follow these instructions to avoid the risk of injury:
WARNING
Improper use of the battery or battery charger
can lead to serious injury. To avoid these injuries:
1. NEVER disassemble the battery.
2. NEVER incinerate the battery, even if it is damaged or
is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a
fi re.
3. NEVER short-circuit the battery.
4. NEVER insert any objects into the battery charger’s
air vents. Electric shock or damage to the battery
charger may result.
5. NEVER charge outdoors. Keep the battery away
from direct sunlight and use only where there is low
humidity and good ventilation.
6. NEVER charge when the temperature is below 32°F
(0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
Charging the battery at temperatures outside the
range of 32°F–104°F (0°C–40°C) may prevent proper
charging and reduce battery life.
7. NEVER connect two battery chargers together.
8. NEVER insert foreign objects into the hole for the
battery or the battery charger.
9. NEVER use a booster transformer when charging.
10. NEVER use an engine generator or DC power to
charge.
11. NEVER store the battery or battery charger in places
where the temperature may reach or exceed 104°F
(40°C) such as inside metal box or car.
12. NEVER expose the battery or battery charger to rain
or wet conditions.
13. ALWAYS operate charger on standard household
electrical power (120 volts). Using the charger on any
other voltage may overheat and damage the charger.
