the temperature is BELOW 0°C
(32°F) or ABOVE 40°C (104°F).
This is very important.
17) Do not incinerate the battery
pack. It can be explode in a fire.
18) Avoid dangerous environment.
Do not use charger in damp or
wet locations.
19) The charger is designed to oper-
ate on standard household elec-
trical power only. Charge only
on the voltage indicated on the
nameplate. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage!
20) Do not abuse cord. Never carry
charg er by cord or yank it to dis-
connect from outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
21) Charge the battery pack in a well
ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a
cloth, etc., while charging.
22) Use of an attachment not recom-

burns.
24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must
only be replaced by a repair shop
appointed by the manufacturer,
because special purpose tools
are required.
25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, THIS AP-
PLIANCE HAS A POLARIZED
PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER
THAN THE OTHER).
This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, re-
verse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
