14. Extension Cords — Do not use an exten-
sion cord unless absolutely necessary.
Using an improper extension cord could
result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. The pins on the extension cord’s plug are
of the same number, size, and shape as
those of the plug on the charger.
b. The extension cord is properly wired and
in good electrical condition.
c. The extension cord’s wire size is at least
18 AWG.
15. Lightning — For added protection for this
power supply during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet. This will prevent damage to the power
supply due to lightning and power-line
surges.
16. Overloading
— Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
