Important Safety Instructions For Use Of The Battery And Battery Charger - Metabo HPT CR 18DBL Manual De Instrucciones

6. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or
stress.
7. An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension
cord could result in a risk of fi re and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
AC Input Rating Amperes*
Equal to or
greater than
0
2
3
* If the input rating of a battery charger is given in watts rather than in amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is to
be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the voltage rating–for example:
8. Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or
plug-replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a
sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in
any way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a
qualifi ed serviceman when service or repair is
required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of
