SPECIAL FEATURES
• NEVER attempt to charge incompatible types of rechargeable batteries as permanent damage to the battery and charger could result.
• NEVER use automotive type battery chargers to power the charger.
• NEVER allow water, moisture or foreign objects into the charger.
• NEVER block the air intake holes or fan which could cause the charger to overheat.
• NEVER attempt to use batteries with more cells or total voltage than listed in the specifications
• NEVER leave the charger unattended while charging. Disconnect the battery and remove input power from charger
immediately if the charger becomes hot!! Allow the charger or battery to cool down before reconnecting.
• NEVER place the charger or battery on a flammable surface or near a flammable object while in use. Keep away from
carpets, wood, plastic, paper, cluttered workbenches, etc.
• NEVER overcharge batteries as permanent damage could result. Do not use a charge or discharge current rate which
exceeds the safe level of the battery. Do not attempt to charge or discharge a battery if it is hot.
• ALWAYS disconnect from power source when not in use.
• ALWAYS keep out of reach of children.
• ALWAYS connect the charge lead to the charger before connecting the battery to the lead. And ALWAYS disconnect the
battery from the charge lead BEFORE disconnecting the charge lead from the charger. Otherwise, if the ends of the charge
lead touch each other while the battery is still connected, a severe and dangerous short-circuit condition will result.
