SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC UNITS
General Electric Safety
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or wet conditions. Store the unit
indoors.
•
Do not handle the unit with wet hands.
•
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the unit in the
rain, in wet conditions or on wet surfaces. Moisture is a shock
hazard.
•
To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with
grounded conductors, such as metal pipes or wire fences.
•
Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Battery Charger Safety
•
Follow all charging instructions. Do not charge the battery
outside the temperature range specified in these instructions.
Improperly charging the battery or charging the battery outside
of the specified temperature range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
•
A nameplate on the unit indicates the voltage used. Never
connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
•
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
•
Do not use multiple extension cords.
•
Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the
current drawn by the unit. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
