Safety Rules For Charger - Craftsman 315.115850 Operator's Manual

WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
 Before using battery charger, read all instructions
and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery
charger, battery, and product using battery to prevent
misuse of the products and possible injury or damage.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock or
damage to the charger and battery, charge only
nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries as specifi-
cally designated on your charger. Other types of bat-
teries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
 Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions. Water entering charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
 Use of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than
the plug when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage
to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric
shock hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.
 Make sure cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with
sharp edges or moving parts or otherwise subject-
ed to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of
accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage
to the cord, which could result in electric shock.
 Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent
damage to housing or internal parts.
 Do not let gasoline, 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 unless
absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord

SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
plug on charger.
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere
rating of charger as specified below:
Cord Length (Feet)
Cord Size (AWG)
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
 Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or
plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized
serviceman.
 Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical
check to determine if the charger is in good working
order.
 Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an authorized
serviceman when service or repair is required. Incor-
rect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
 Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
 Disconnect charger from the power supply when
not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock
or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into
the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the
charger during a power surge.
 Risk of electric shock. Do not touch uninsulated
portion of output connector or uninsulated battery
terminal.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If
