This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not approved by the party responsible for compliance could void user's authority
to operate the equipment.

RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION.
When using tools or equipment,
basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Improper operation, maintenance or modification of tools
or equipment could result in serious injury and property damage. There
are certain applications for which tools and equipment are designed.
Manufacturer strongly recommends that this product NOT be modified and/
or used for any application other than for which it was designed. Read and
understand all warnings and operating instructions before using any tool
or equipment.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Read and understand this instruction manual before
using this unit. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS
• This unit was designed for household use only.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not expose the clamps or cords to
rain or snow.
• Keep children away. Keep away from children. This is not a toy!
LED
• Store indoors. When not in use, battery chargers should be stored
indoors in dry, and high or locked-up places – out of reach of children.
• Unplug the battery charger when not in use.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER
CORDS
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug
rather than cord when unplugging the unit.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on
the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are available having built in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety.
EXTENSION CORDS
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the pins of the
extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the
charger.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
