SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
WARNING:
Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re, and/or serious
personal injury.
1. Before using the battery charger, read
all instructions and cautionary markings
in this manual and on the battery charger,
the battery, and the product using the
battery to prevent misuse of the products
and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of
electric shock or damage to the charger
and battery, charge only those
rechargeable batteries specically
designated on your charger’s label. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury or damage.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 the receptacle. Damage to the
cord or charger could occur and create
an electric shock hazard. Replace
damaged cords immediately.
5. 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 subjected to
damage or stress. This will reduce the
risk of accidental falls, which could cause
injury and damage to the cord, and could
then result in electric shock.
6. Keep the cord and charger from heat to
prevent damage to the housing or internal
parts.
7. 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.
8. An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock.
If an extension cord must be used, make
sure that:
• The pins on plug of extension cord are
the same number, size and shape as
those of the plug on charger.
• The cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• The size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specified below:
The Cord Length
(Feet)
25’ 50’ 100’
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
NOTICE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
9. 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
a qualified service technician.
10. 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 a qualified service technician
for an electrical check to determine if the
charger is in good working order.
11. Do not disassemble the charger. Take
it to a qualified service technician when
service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
12. Unplug the charger from the electrical
outlet before attempting any maintenance
or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
