•
To reduce the risk of damage to the cord or plug, pull by the plug rather
than the cord when you disconnect the battery charger from the power
source outlet.
•
Do not operate any battery charger with a damaged cord or plug - replace
them immediately.
•
Battery chargers may become warm during operation, but not hot. If it
becomes hot to the touch, unplug it from the power outlet immediately and
discontinue its use.
•
Use of a non-recommended attachment to a battery charger may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
•
Make sure the battery charger power cord is located so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over, or subjected to damage or stress.
•
An extension cord should not be used with any battery charger unless
absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure
that:
• The pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those on the plug of the charger.
• The extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
• The cord size is 18AWG for lengths up to 100 feet and 16AWG for
lengths up to 150 feet.
•
Do not operate any battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, has been
dropped, or has been damaged in any way; take it to a qualified service
technician.
•
Do not disassemble a battery charger; take it to a qualified service
technician when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•
Maximum ambient temperature around the power supply or transformer of
any battery charger should not exceed 40°C (104°F).
