Important Safety Instructions - Stanley TGC11 Instruction Manual

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user' s authority to operate the
equipment.

WARNING: This product or its power cord contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defect or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Don't use battery chargers in damp or wet locations.
• Keep children away. Keep away from children. This is not a toy!

SPECIFIC SAFEty INStruCtIONS FOr POwEr COrDS
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp
edges. Pull cord by plug rather than cord when unplugging the unit.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
• Extension cords:
WARNING: An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the pins of the extension cord are the same number, size
and shape as those in the charger.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Power Cord Safety
This unit is intended for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the
sketch A in the illustration below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used
to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid
ear or lug extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet– make certain it is grounded. If necessary,
replace original outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make
ground connection to grounded outlet.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Never leave the inflator unattended while in use.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD:
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed recommended pressures. Bursting articles can cause serious injury.
• Always check pressure with the pressure gage.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate inflator continuously for longer than approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may
overheat. In such event, inflator may automatically shut down. Turn off the Inflator Power Switch immediately and restart after a
cooling down period of approximately 30 minutes.

WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit for charging/boosting a 12 volt LEAD-
ACID battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
• This unit was designed for household use only.
• Use of accessories and attachments: The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended by manufacturer for use with
this battery charger could be hazardous.
