13. Do not store the charger or battery pack in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 122°F (50°C) (such as a metal tool shed, or a car in
the summer). These temperatures can lead to deterioration of the storage
battery.

plug in any way. Double Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
