SAFETY GUIDELINES /
DEFINITIONS
DANGER:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION.
When using tools or equipment, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Improper operation, maintenance or modification of tools or equipment could result
in serious injury and property damage. There are certain applications for which tools
and equipment are designed. Manufacturer strongly recommends that this product
NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed.
Read and understand all warnings and operating instructions before using any tool or
equipment.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read all instructions before operating the battery charger. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
• The unit was designed for household use only.
WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST
HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY:
•
Avoid dangerous environments.
Don’t use the battery charger in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose the battery charger to rain or snow.
•
Keep children away.
Keep away from children. This is not a toy!
•
Store indoors.
When not in use, battery chargers should be stored indoors in dry, and
high or locked-up places – out of reach of children.
•
Unplug the battery charger
when not in use.
•
Check for damaged parts.
Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by manufacturer unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual before further use.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER CORDS
•
Don’t abuse cord.
Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than cord
when unplugging the unit.
•
Ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI)
protection should be provided on the circuits
or outlets to be used. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI protection and
may be used for this measure of safety.
DANGER
– Never alter AC cord or plug provided.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk
of an electric shock.
Extension Cords
•
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, and will void
warranty.
•
If an extension cord must be used,
make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
