•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,thatis16gaugehasmorecapacitythan18gauge.Whenusingmorethanone
extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at
least the minimum wire size.
•Do not place any object on top of charger or place the charger on a soft surface
that might block the ventilation slots and result in excessive internal heat. Place
the charger in a position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated
through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.
•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 disassemble 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 this risk.
•NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
•The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120
Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
