WARNING : Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate the EGO charger in explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. A charger might create a spark, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the charger. Keep
the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
The EGO charger can charge the EGO lithium-ion battery packs listed in fig.B
Charge only 56V d.c., max.12.0 Ah Li-ion type rechargeable battery packs. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

SERVICE

Have your charger serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the charger is maintained.
When servicing a charger, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

NOTICE : Lithium-ion battery packs are partially charged before shipping. Before using it for the first time, fully charge the battery pack.

Connect the charger to the power supply (220-240V ~ 50Hz). LED Indicator 1 briefly shines green and LED Indicator 2 briefly shines red at the same time, indicating that the charger is working properly.
Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the mounting slots in the charger; slide the battery pack down onto the charger, as shown in Fig. B.
The charger will communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the condition of the battery pack.
When charging a battery pack, LED Indicator 1 on the charger flashes green. For the BA1400, BA2800, BA4200 battery packs, the power indicator on the battery pack flashes red, orange and green in sequence. For the BA1400T, BA2242T, BA2240T, BA2800T, BA3360T, BA4200T, BA5600T and BA6720T battery packs. The last segment of 5-LED indicator on the battery pack will flash green. The fan in the charger works continuously to cool the charger.
When the battery pack is 80% charged, LED Indicator 1 stops flashing and remains green while LED Indicator 2 starts flashing green.
When the battery pack is fully charged, both LED indicators on the charger remain green, and the power indicator on the battery pack goes out. Wait for the cooling air fan to stop, remove the battery pack from the charger and disconnect the charger from the power supply.

NOTICE:

A significant reduction in the running time of a fullycharged battery pack indicates the battery’s life is coming to an end and that the battery pack must be replaced.
The charger may get warm during charging, which is normal. Charge your battery pack in a well-ventilated area.
