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.

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

Not Recommended

 

 

Do not

 

place any object on top of charger or place the

 

charger

 

 

 

on a soft surface that might block the ventilation slots and

 

result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger in a

 

position away from any heat source. The charger is ventilated

through slots in the top and the bottom of the housing.

Do not mount charger on wall or permanently affix charger to

 

any surface. The charger is intended to use on a flat, stable

surface (i.e., table top, bench top).

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service

center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.

Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock. Removing the battery pack will not reduce this risk.

NEVER attempt to connect 2 chargers together.

The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (120 Volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other voltage.
