• Do not place any object on top of the 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 operate the charger with a damaged
cord or plug.
• Do not operate the 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 the 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 two chargers together.
• The charger is designed to operate on standard
120V household electrical power. Do not
attempt to use it on any other voltage. This does
not apply to the vehicular charger.
WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get
inside the charger. Electric shock may result.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not submerge the battery
pack in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the battery
pack. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks
or cracks, return to a service center for recycling.
