surface only. The Charger gets hot during use. The Charger???s heat can build up

to unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if it does not receive adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger. Especially avoid placing the Charger on carpets and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they also obstruct vents under the Charger.

Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable surface (such as a stable metal workbench or concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all flammable objects, such as drapes or walls. Keep a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the area. Frequently monitor the Charger and battery pack during use.

2.Charge only designated battery packs; others may overheat, leak, or burst.

3.Follow charging instructions.

4.Do not insert damaged battery pack.

5.Check frequently while charging.

Liquid ejected from the battery pack may cause irritation or burns.

10.Do not expose chargers to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a Charger will increase the risk of electric shock. Charge indoors only.

11.Keep charging area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

12.Do not operate chargers in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Chargers create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
