IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGERS
WARNING:
Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger.
CAUTION:
Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the charger
can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavi-
ty. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
• DO NOT
attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this manual.
The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together.
• DO NOT
expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This will reduce risk of damage to elec-
tric plug and cord.
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject-
ed to damage or stress.
• DO NOT
use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution.
• DO NOT
operate charger with damaged cord or plug — have them replaced immediately.
• DO NOT
operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way. Take it to an authorized service center.
