IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME
YOU USE THE CHARGER.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A BATTERY EXPLOSION, FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS AND THOSE PUBLISHED BY THE BATTERY MANU-

your skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and pro-2.3
tective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the battery.

may cause an explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and 2.7

produce a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to
metal, causing a severe burn.
