Saftey Warnings & Instructions
Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary warnings on battery
charger and product using battery. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, use this charger only
with this product. Batteries in other products may burst causing personal injury or damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an accessory not recommended may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a) An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety
to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using
more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.
