CHARGER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger model QC5359B-02 Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on the battery charger, battery, and product using the battery.
To reduce the risk of injury, charge only SKIL rechargeable batteries listed in the manual. Other types of batteries may burst to cause personal injury and damage.
Charge battery pack within the required temperature range. Store charger and battery pack in locations where the temperature is within the recommended storage temperature range. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
Do not recharge the battery in a damp or wet environment. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Water entering the battery charger may result in electric shock or fire.
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.
Place the charger on flat non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when recharging the 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.
Keep the cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. to come in contact with plastic parts. These materials contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. A damaged plug and cord may result in electric shock or fire.
Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord. Do not operate chargers with damaged cords or plugs; have them replaced immediately. A damaged plug or cord may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not insert a battery pack in the charger if the battery pack case is cracked. Using a damaged battery pack may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not disassemble the charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.
Before each use, check the battery charger, cable, and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself, take it to a SKIL Factory Service Center, or a qualified serviceman only using original spare parts.
Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not touch the uninsulated portion of the output connector or uninsulated battery terminal. There is a risk of electric shock.
Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by SKIL. Using attachments not recommended may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not store the battery pack in the charger. A battery pack stored in charger over a long period of time could lead to battery pack damage and fire.
Unplug the charger from the outlet before storage, attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Keep the battery charger clean by blowing compressed air on charger vents and wiping the charger housing with a damp cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or fire.
Replace the battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per charge is observed. The battery  pack may be nearing the end of its life.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
Do not use outdoors.
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their physician(s) before using this product. The operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

EXTENSION CORDS

AN EXTENSION CORD SHOULD NOT BE USED UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. The use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electrical shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure:
a. The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of the plug-on charger.
b. The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
