RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES
CAUTION
Certain rechargers for small
nickel cadmium batteries
can be damaged if connected
to the unit. Two types of
equipment are particularly
prone to this problem:
1. Small battery operated
appliances that can be
plugged directly into
an AC receptacle for
recharging, including
flashlights, razors, and
night lights.
2. Certain battery chargers for
battery packs used in hand
power tools, specifically
those that have a
WARNING label stating
that dangerous voltages
are present at the battery
terminals.

Problems do not occur with
the vast majority of battery
operated tools, most of which
use a separate charger or
transformer that plugs into
an AC receptacle and produces
a low voltage output. If the
label on your tool's AC adapter
or charger states that is
produces a low voltage AC or
DC output (less than 30 volts)
you can safely power the
charger.
