ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. Use of improper extension
cord could result in risk of fire and electrical shock. If an
extension cord is used, make sure:
a. The pins on plug of extension cord are the same
number, size, and shape as those of plug on charger.
b. The extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
1. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery
only when the battery temperature is between 32˚F
(0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the battery pack is too hot or
too cold, the charger will not begin charging the battery.
(This may happen if the battery pack is hot from heavy
use). Once the battery temperature returns to its safe
charging temperature, between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F
(45°C), the charger will automatically begin charging.
2. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may
mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life
and should be replaced.
3. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
