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.
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE OF
EXTENSION CORDS FOR
BATTERY CHARGERS
AC Input Rating. | Amperes | AWG Size of Cord | |||
Equal to or | But less | Length of Cord, Feet | |||
greater than | than | 25 | 50 | 100 150 | |
0 | 2 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 16 |
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.
