7) 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 prop-
erly wired and in good electrical
condition.
c. that wire size is large enough
for ampere rating of charger as
specified below.

8) Do not operate charger with dam-
aged cord or plug replace them
immediately.
9) Do not operate charger if it has re-
ceived a sharp blow, been dropped,
or otherwise damaged in any way;
take it to a qualified serviceman.
10) Do not disassemble charger; take it
to a qualified serviceman when ser-
vice or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
11) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
unplug charger from outlet before
attempting any maintenance or
cleaning.
12) The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work to-
gether. Do not attempt to charge
any other cordless tool or battery
pack with this charger.
13) Do not attempt to charge the battery
pack with any other charger.
14) Do not attempt to disassemble the
battery pack housing.
15) Do not store the tool and battery pack
in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F)
(such a metal tool shed, or a car
in the summer), which can lead to
deterioration of the storage battery.
16) Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 0°C (32°F)
or ABOVE 40°C (104°F). This is very
important.
17) Do not incinerate the battery pack.
It can explode in a fire.
18) Avoid dangerous environment. Do not
use charger in damp or wet locations.
19) The charger is designed to operate
on standard household electrical
power only. Do not attempt to use it
on any other voltage!
20) Do not abuse cord. Never carry charger
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil
and sharp edges.
21) Charge the battery pack in a well
ventilated place, do not cover the
charger and battery pack with a
cloth, etc., while charging.
22) Use of an attachment not recom-
mended may result in a risk of fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons.
23) Do not short the battery pack. A bat-
tery short can cause a large current
flow, over heating and burns.
24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this ap-
pliance is damaged, it must only be
replaced by a repair shop appointed
by the manufacturer, because special
purpose tools are required.
25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELEC-
TRIC SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE
HAS A POLARIZED PLUG (ONE
BLADE IS WIDER THAN THE
OTHER).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
