IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
• Keep children away. Keep away from children. This is not a toy!
• Store indoors. When not in use, battery chargers should be stored indoors in dry,
and high or locked-up places – out of reach of children.
• Unplug the battery charger when not in use.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER CORDS
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than
cord when unplugging the unit.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on
the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are available having built in GFCI
protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
Extension cords
• 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 an
extension cord is used, make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those in the charger.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
