4. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk
of
fi
re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord,
pull by plug when disconnecting battery 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
fi
re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a. That blades of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on
battery 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 battery charger as speci
fi
ed in Table 1.
*
If the input rating of a battery charger is given in watts
rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere
rating is to be determined by dividing the wattage
rating by the voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
= 10 amperes
125 volts
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a quali
fi
ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualified serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or
fi
re.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from
receptacle before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this
risk.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE OF THE BATTERY AND
BATTERY CHARGER
