SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■ Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may
result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
■ Do not service mower with switch key or charger in-stalled.
■ Do not use the charger when the ambient temperature is above 40°C or below 0°C.
■ Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and
electric shock. If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.
■ Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical check to determine
if the charger is in good working order.
■ Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
■ Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use to prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
■ Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsu-
lated battery terminal.
■ Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
■ Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cord, which
could result in electric shock.
■ Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
■ Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
■ 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; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) 25' 50' 100'
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16
NOTE:
AWG = American Wire Gauge
