• The charger is not meant for use by children.
• Provide adequate ventilation for the charger to dissipate heat during charging. The charger will
get hot. Keep away from flammable and combustible material and do not cover the charger.

only. Mount charger on a table or wall with the cooling fins vertical.
• Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated
battery terminal.
• Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or damp conditions. Water entering charger
will increase the risk of electric shock. The charger must be plugged into a Class A GFCI
receptacle when used outdoors.
• Keep charger and charger plug free of contamination and dirt. Do not let gasoline, oils,
petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

charger is in good working order.
• Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cords, which
could result in electric shock.
