RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
•For best results, your battery unit should be charged in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F (10°C) but less than 100°F (38°C). Do not store outside or in vehicles.
•Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery pack leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention.
•A damaged battery pack is subject to explosion. To avoid serious personal injury, properly dispose of a damaged battery pack.
•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Batteries should be recycled, consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery pack terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
CHARGER SAFETY
•Save these instructions. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions for charger.
•Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery charger, and product using battery charger.
•To reduce risk of injury, charge only nickel- cadmium type rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal injury and damage.
•Do not expose charger to wet or damp conditions.
•Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
•To reduce risk of damage to charger body and cord, pull by charger plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
•Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
•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 properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c.That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet) | 25' | 50' | 100' |
Cord Size (AWG) | 16 | 16 | 16 |
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gage
•Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug. If damaged, have replaced immediately by a qualified serviceman.
•Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
•Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from outlet before attempting any mainte- nance or cleaning. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk.
•Disconnect charger from power supply when not in use.
•Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated portion of output connector or uninsulated battery terminal.
•Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may use this unit. If you loan someone this unit, loan them these instructions also.
