SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger
and battery, charge only those rechargeable batteries
specifically designated on your charger's label. Other types of
batteries may burst, causing personal injury or damage.
• Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp
conditions. Water entering the 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.
• Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry
the charger. Do not pull the charger cord to disconnect the plug
from a receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur
and create an electric shock hazard. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
• Make sure that the cord is located so that it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving
parts, or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress. This will
reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury and
damage to the cord, which could then result in electric shock.
• Keep the cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage
to the housing or internal parts.
• Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc.,
to come in contact with plastic parts. These materials contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
