• DO NOT attempt to charge the battery pack with any chargers other than the ones in this
manual. The charger and battery pack are specifically designed to work together,
• These chargers are not intended for any uses other than charging designated Craftsman ®
rechargeable batteries. Any other uses may result in risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution,
• Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger. This willreduce risk of damage to
electric plug and cord,
• Make sure that cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord
could result in risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution,
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the gauge number of
the wire, the greater the capacity of
the cable, that is 16 gauge has more
capacity than 18 gauge. When using
more than one extension to make up
the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum
wire size.
