1. CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains critical safety and
operating instructions for the light, battery
charger, and battery.
2. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery, and
(3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge
only MATCO rechargeable batteries marked on
the charger label. Other types of batteries may
burst causing personal injury and
damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by Matco or the battery charger manufacturer
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected
to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock. If extension cord must be used, make
sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number size, and shape as those of
plug on charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition;
c. That wire size is at least as large as the one
specified in the table below.
