SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS
Safety and Care
This appliance can not be used by persons with reduced physical sensory, mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children.
WARNING
When using the battery charger, the following basic safety precautions should be observed for protection against electric
shock, danger of injury, and burns.
• Please read and observe these instructions before using the device.
• Ony the following battery packs can be charged with this charger: BRAT36v6250, BRAT36v6251, BRAT36v6500.
• This charger is only to be used indoor under dry conditions.
• This charger is not intended to charge any other type of battery and should never be used in explosive or inflammable
environments.
• Non-rechargeable batteries cannot be charged with this battery charger.
• To protect against the risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid.
• Before using the device check that the mains cable and mains plug are not damaged.
• The device must not be damp, and it should not be used in a damp environment.
• Do not use the device if it has suffered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
• Due to the heat generated during charging, the battery charger should not be operated on a combustible surface
• or in an inflammable environment.
• Do not cover the ventilating slits.
• Never disassemble the device yourself. Danger of an electric shock or fire could be caused by improper reassembly.
• When the appliance is not in use and before cleaning and maintenance, unplug the appliance from the outlet.
• During charging, the battery pack with charger must be placed in a well-ventilated area. Malfunction during charging
can be caused by storing and operating in places where the temperature exceeds +40 °C; this should be avoided.
Battery charging in closed cupboards, near heat sources (radiators, bright sunshine) etc., causes heat to accumulate
and can damage the device.
• If the battery is not going to be used for a longer period, pull the battery off the battery charger and disconnect the
mains plug.
• Protect battery contacts to avoid a short circuit caused by a metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion.
• Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the device. The protective insulation can thereby be rendered
ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
5
Safety and Care (continued)
• If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING
Do not insert any object into the ventilation slots or charging connector. This can cause damage to the appliance and may
increase the risk of personal injury and property damage.
WARNING
Do not alter or modify the unit from the original design or function. This may increase the risk of serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING
Before you plug in your product, make sure that the supply voltage used corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate.
Specified Conditions of Use
The product is intended only for charging the 36 V Li-Ion battery packs. See TECHNICAL DATA for details.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.

WARNING
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this product. The use of attachments
or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
Never operate the charger where there is a possibility of inflammable or explosive gases or vapour. Keep well away from
petroleum, paint and cleaning supplies, and gas-fired heating systems.
WARNING
Charge in a well-ventilated area. Do not block charger vents. Keep them clear to allow proper ventilation.
SAFETY RULES & PRECAUTIONS

Charging The Battery Pack
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them until
the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
Charging A Hot Battery Pack
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of a tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under
normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries. If the charger does
not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and the charger to your nearest
authorised service centre for electrical check.
Charging A Cool Battery Pack
Only charge the 36v Li-ion battery packs with this charger. Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 240v,
50 / 60Hz, AC only. Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
• Connect the charger to the power supply.
• Place the battery pack in the charger, aligning the raised rib on the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
• Slide in the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
NOTE: After charging is complete, the green charger LED will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the charger
or charger is disconnected from the power supply. The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem. Do not place the charger and the battery pack in an area of extreme hot or
cold. They will work best at normal room temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but less than
40°C.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
Compatible Battery Packs
BRAT36V6250 - 2.5Ah Small Skin - 10 cells.
BRAT36v6251 - 2.5Ah Large Skin - 10 cells.
BRAT36v6500 - 5.0Ah - 20 cells.
Battery Protection Features
36 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. If the
tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery needs to
be recharged.
WARNING
If at any point during the charging process none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from the charger to avoid
damaging the product. Do not insert another battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest Bushranger
®

lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
• Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
• Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the charger.
• Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
Storage
Store your charger in a cool dry place between 10 and 25 °C. It is not recommended to leave it in a vehicle during hot or
cold conditions. Ensure no metal filings or swarf can fall into the vents during storage, as this may cause serious injury
when it is next used.
