Important Safety Instructions for All
Battery Chargers

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
and cautionary markings for the battery pack,
charger and product. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with
any chargers other than a CRAFTSMAN charger.
CRAFTSMAN charger and battery pack are specifically
designed to worktogether.
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other
than charging CRAFTSMAN rechargeable batteries.
Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock
orelectrocution.
• Do not expose the charger to rain orsnow.
• Pull by the plug rather than the cord when
disconnecting the charger. This will reduce the risk of
damage to the electric plug andcord.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not
be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected
to damage orstress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in
risk of fire, electric shock orelectrocution.
• When operating a charger outdoors, always provide
a dry location and use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The
smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do
not place the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. Transporting batteries
can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the
like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous
Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes in
carry-on baggage UNLESS they are properly protected
from short circuits. So when transporting individual
battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals
are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
NOTE: LI-ION batteries should not be put in
checkedbaggage.
total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size. The following table shows
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

• Do not place any object on top of the charger or
place the charger on a soft surface that might block
the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal
heat. Place the charger in a position away from any heat
source. The charger is ventilated through slots in the top
and the bottom of thehousing.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord
orplug–have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized servicecenter.
• Do not disassemble the charger; take it to an
authorized service center when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock, electrocution orfire.
• Disconnect the charger from the outlet before
attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk
of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not
reduce thisrisk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargerstogether.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not attempt to
use it on any other voltage. This does not apply to the
vehicularcharger.

WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to
get inside the charger. Electric shock mayresult.

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the
battery pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to
enter the battery pack. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of
the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service
center for recycling.

CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only CRAFTSMAN rechargeable battery packs.
Other types of batteries may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and propertydamage.

CAUTION: Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged into the power supply, the charger can
be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
