4 Safety Precautions
– Connecting cable plug or extension cable is
damaged.
– Wall outlet is not properly installed.
DANGER
■ Contact with live components can result in an
electric shock. This can result in serious or
fatal injuries.
► Check that the connecting cable, extension
cable and their plugs are not damaged.
If the connecting cable or extension
cable is damaged:
► Do not touch damaged areas.
► Disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet.
► Never touch the connecting cable, exten‐
sion cable or their plugs with wet hands.
► Insert the plug of the connecting cable or
extension cable in a properly installed fused
wall outlet with ground contact.
► Install the charger with a ground fault circuit
interrupter (30 mA, 30 ms).
■ A damaged or unsuitable extension cable can
cause an electric shock. This can result in
serious or fatal injuries.
► Use an extension cable with the correct
wire gauge, 19.6.
WARNING
■ Overvoltage can occur in the charger if the line
voltage or frequency are incorrect during
charging. The charger may be damaged.
► Make sure the line voltage and frequency
agree with the data on the charger's rating
plate.
■ A carelessly laid connecting or extension
cable can be damaged and cause others to
trip or fall. This can result in injuries and may
damage the connecting cable or extension
cable.
► Position and mark connecting cable and
extension cable so they do not represent a
trip hazard.
► Position the connecting and extension
cables so that they are not under tension or
entangled.
► Position the connecting and extension
cables so that they cannot be damaged,
kinked, pinched or chafed.
► Protect the connecting cable and extension
cable from heat, oil and chemicals.
► Lay the connecting and extension cables on
a dry surface.
■ The extension cable becomes hot during oper‐
ation. If the heat cannot dissipate, it may
cause a fire.

► If you use a cable drum: Unwind the exten‐
sion cable to its full length.
■ If electric cables or pipes are embedded in the
wall, they may be damaged when the charger
is mounted on a wall. Contact with electric
cables can result in an electric shock. This can
result in serious injuries and damage to prop‐
erty.
► Check that there are no electric cables or
pipes embedded in the wall.
■ If the charger is not mounted on the wall as
described in this instruction manual, the
charger or the battery may fall down or the
charger may overheat. This may result in per‐
sonal injuries and damage to property.
► Mount the charger on the wall as described
in this instruction manual.
■ If the charger is mounted on a wall with the
battery inserted, the battery may fall out and
be damaged. This may result in personal inju‐
ries and damage to property.
► Mount the charger on the wall first and then
insert the battery.
