•
Pull by the plug rather than the cord
when disconnecting the charger.
This
will reduce the risk of damage to the
electric plug and cord.
•
Make sure that the 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 a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
•
An extension cord must have adequate
wire size or AWG for safety.
The smaller
the gage number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cable, that is, 16 gage
has more capacity than 18 gage. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than
one extension to make up the total
length, be sure each individual extension
contains at least the minimum wire size.
The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The lower
the gage number, the heavier the cord.
•
Do not place any object on top of the
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 sides of
the housing.
•
Do not operate the charger with a
damaged cord or plug.
•
Do not operate the 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 the 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 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
120V/220V
household
electrical power. Do not attempt to use
it on any other voltage.
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow
any liquid to get inside the charger. Electric
shock may result.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Do not
submerge the batter pack in any liquid or
allow any liquid to enter the battery pack.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If the plastic housing of the
battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a
service center for recycling.
CAUTION:
Burn hazard. To reduce the
risk of injury, charge only RHYNO
rechargeable battery packs. Other types of
battery packs may overheat and burst
resulting in personal injury and property
damage.
NOTICE: Under certain conditions, with the
charger plugged into the power supply, the
charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign material of a conductive nature,
