SAFETY SYMBOLS

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all safety instructions in this
Operator’s Manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION” before using this tool. Failure to following all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

WARNING: The operation of any power tools can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields. Always use eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1.

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
The term “power tool” in all of warnings listed below refers to corded power tools or battery operated (cordless) power tools.
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

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.
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 expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
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.
◾ Use charge the EGO lithium-ion battery packs list below:

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 Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury

SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

CAUTION: To reduce risk of injury, charge only Li-Ion type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.

This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for 56V Charger CH3200/CH3200-FC.
Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.
Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions.
Water entering the charger will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not handle charger, including the charger plug and charger terminals with wet hands.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery-charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord to disconnect the plug from a receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury and damage to the cord, which could then result in electric shock.
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.
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger repaired or replaced by an authorized service technician at an EGO Service Center.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or has otherwise been damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service technician for an electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working order.
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening. It will also help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near children.
Only use attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not put charger in water or other liquid. Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend these instructions to them to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury
