SAFETY INFORMATION

• Do not disassemble charger, take it to an authorised service station if repair is required.
Incorrect reassemble may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any cleaning to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
• Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use to prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
• Do not expose machine to rain or wet conditions. Water entering charger will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Make sure cable is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact
with sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental wash, which could cause injury, and damage to the cable,
which could result in electric shock.
• Keep cable and charger away from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
• Do not let gasoline/petrol, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
• An extension cord should not be used for the charger unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If extension cord
must be used, make sure:
• That pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
• That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
WARNING
If any parts are missing, do not operate unit until the missing parts are replaced. Failure
to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing unit, always remove the key and battery.
WARNING(PROPOSITION 65)
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemical: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
