WARNINGS!

An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely 

• 

necessary. 

Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk 

• 

of fire and electric shock. 

If  any  extension  cord  must  be  used,  make  sure  the 

• 

pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same 

number,  size  and  shape  as  those  of  the  plug  on  the 

charger; and that the extension cord is properly wired 

and in good electrical condition.

•  Do not rest a battery on top of the charger.

•  Do  not  stand  the  charger  on  a  carpet  or  other  soft 

surface. Always place it on a hard flat surface.

•  Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp 

blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. 

Take it to a qualified technician.

•  Do not disassemble charger; only have it repaired by 

the manufacturers. Incorrect re-assembly may result in 

a risk of electric shock or fire. 

To  reduce  the  risk  of  an  electric  shock,  unplug 

• 

the  charger  from  the  outlet  before  attempting  any 

maintenance or cleaning. Turning off the controls will 

not reduce the risk.

•  Never  place  the  charger  directly  above  the  battery 

being charged; gases from the battery will corrode and 

damage the charger.

•  Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of 

battery or charger. 

Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal 

• 

tool onto the battery. It could spark or short circuit the 

battery  or  other  electrical  parts  that  may  cause  an 

explosion. Also take off all personal metal effects and 

dangling objects when working on the battery.

•  Never  charge  a  frozen  battery.  A  fully 

charged  battery  will  rarely  freeze  but  the 

electrolyte  of  a  discharged  battery  can  freeze  

at  -9°  Centigrade.    Any  battery  that  is  suspected  of 

being  frozen  should  be  thawed  completely  before 

charging.

•  Never sit with the charger on your lap when charging 

your batteries.

•  The  charger  casing  will  get  hot  during  its  normal 

operation.

10.13  Battery warranty

Battery  warranties  are  subject  to  periods  set  by  the 

manufacturers.  However,  most  of  these  warranties  are 

subject  to  a  wear  and  tear  clause,  and  if  you  genuinely 

wear out your batteries in 6 months, it will not be possible 

to obtain a replacement under warranty.
