1.4 To reduce the risk of damage to the electric plug or cord, pull by
the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
1.5 An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and
electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same
number, size and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good
electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the AC ampere rating of
the charger as specified in section 8.
1.6 To reduce the risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the
outlet before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply
turning off the controls will not reduce this risk.
1.7 Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug; have
the cord or plug replaced immediately by a qualified service
person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.8 Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified
service person. (Call customer service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
1.9 Do not disassemble the charger; take it to a qualified service
person when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly
may result in a risk of fire or electric shock. (Call customer
service at: 1-800-621-5485.)
