RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.

1.1Keep out of reach of children.

1.3Use only recommended attachments. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Schumacher® Electric Corporation may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons or damage to property.

1.4To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.

1.5An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:

•That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.

•That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

•That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of the charger as specified in section 8.

1.6To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.

1.7Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have the cord or plug replaced immediately by a qualified service person. (Call customer service at:

1-800-621-5485.)

1.8Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)

1.9Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
