SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to
electric plug and cord.
• Make sure that 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.
• 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. When using more than one extension to make up the
total lenght, be sure each idividual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug - have them replaced immediately.
• Do not operate 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 dissassemble 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 the risk.
• NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120Volts). Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
