10. Do not disassemble charger or battery pack. Take it to a qualified ser-
viceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in
a risk of electric shock or fire.
11. Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or clean-
ing – to reduce risk of electric shock.
12. Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while charging.
13. Do not store the charger or battery pack in locations where the temper-
ature may reach or exceed 122°F (50°C) (such as a metal tool shed, or a car
in the summer), which can lead to deterioration of the storage battery.
14. Do not charge battery pack when the temperature is BELOW 40°F
(4.4°C) or ABOVE 104°F(40°C). This is very important for proper operation.
15. Do not incinerate battery pack. It can explode in a fire.
16. Do not charge battery in damp or wet locations.
17. Do not attempt to charge any other cordless tool or battery pack with the
Delta charger.
18. Do not short across the terminals of the battery pack: EXTREMELY
HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE.
19. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation
eliminates the need
for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
20. Dispose of expended batteries properly. The
Delta Battery Packs contains rechargeable, nickel-cad-
mium batteries. These batteries must be recycled or
disposed of properly. Drop off expended battery packs
at your local replacement battery retailer, your local
recycling center, or at a Delta Service Center (see list on
back page of this manual). Applicable fees for the col-
lection and recycling of these batteries (in the United
States), have been paid to the RBRC
™ . For further infor-
mation, call: 1-800-8-BATTERY.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
