• Make sure that cord is located so that
it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
• 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 16gauge
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.

• Do not place any object on top of
charger or place the charger on a soft
surface that might block the ventilation

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.

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
