4) Do not expose charger and battery pack
to rain or snow or use in damp location.
5) To reduce risk of damaging the electric
plug and cord, pull by plug rather than

not be stepped on, tripped over, or other-
wise subjected to damage or stress.
7) An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary.

good electrical condition.
c. wire size is large enough for ampere
rating of charger as specifi ed below.

14) Do not attempt to disassemble the battery
charger and the battery pack housing.
15) Do not store battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 °C (122 °F) (such as a metal
tool shed, or a car in the summer), which
can lead to deterioration of the storage
battery.
16) Do not charge battery pack when the
temperature is BELOW 0 °C (32 °F) or
ABOVE 40 °C (104 °F).
This is very important.
17) Do not incinerate the battery pack. It can
be explode in a fi re.
18) Avoid dangerous environment. Do not use
charger in damp or wet locations.
19) The charger is designed to operate on
standard household electrical power only.
Charge only on the voltage indicated on
the nameplate. Do not attempt to use it on
any other voltage!
20) Do not abuse cord. Never carry charger
by cord or yank it to disconnect from
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges.
21) Charge the battery pack in a well ven-
tilated place, do not cover the charger
and battery pack with a cloth, etc., while
charging.
22) Use of an attachment not recommended
may result in a risk of fi re, electric shock,
or injury to persons.
23) Do not short the battery pack. A battery
short can cause a large current fl ow,
over heating and create the risk of fi re or
personal injury.
24) NOTE: If the supply cord of this appliance
is damaged, it must only be replaced by
a repair shop appointed by the manufac-
turer, because special purpose tools are
required.
25) TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, THIS APPLIANCE HAS A PO-
LARIZED PLUG (ONE BLADE IS WIDER

This plug will fi t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
