BATTERY & CHARGER INSTRUCTIONS
•
Avoid dangerous environments
– Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flam-
mable materials) because sparks may be generated when
inserting or removing the battery pack, which could lead
to a fire.
•
Charge in a well-ventilated area
– Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper ven-
tilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE:
The safe temperature range for the battery charg-
ing is -4°F to 113°F. Do not charge the battery outside in
freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
•
Maintain charger cord
– When unplugging the char-
ger, pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to
reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord
to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to dam-
age or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the
charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a dam-
aged charger immediately.
•
Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary
– Using the wrong, damaged or improperly
wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the char-
ger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger extension
cord with the female plug matching the male plug on the
charger. Make sure that the extension cord is in good
electrical condition.
•
Charger is rated for 120 volt AC only

tachment not recommended or sold by WEN Products
may result in risk of fire, electric shock or personal in-
jury.

move battery packs from unplugged chargers.
