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
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 from heat to prevent damage to the housing or
internal parts.
Do not allow gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. to come in con-
tact with plastic parts. These materials contain chemicals that can damage,
weaken, or destroy plastic.
An extension cord should not be used 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 plug of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as
those of the plug on charger.
The cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition
The size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
The Cord Length (Feet)
25' 50' 100'
Cord Size(AWG) 16 16 16
NOTE: AWG = American Wire Gauge
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause
shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger repaired or re-
placed by an authorized service technician at Sears Service Center.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped,
or has otherwise been damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service
technician at Sears Service Center for an electrical check to determine if the
charger is in good working order.
Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an authorized service technician
at a Sears Service Center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet before attempting any mainte-
nance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use. This will reduce
the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger if metal items should fall
into the opening. It will also help prevent damage to the charger during a
power surge.
Risk of electric shock. Do not touch the uninsulated portion of output con-
nector or uninsulated battery terminal.
