Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Remington brand may result
in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
6.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in
a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocu-
tion.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-
wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only
round jacketed extension cords should
be used, and we recommend that they
be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.). If the extension is to be used
outside, the cord must be suitable tkw
outdoor use. Any cord marked for
outdoor use can also be used for indoor
work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the
cord ,jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) tbr safety, and to prevent loss
of power and overheating. 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 extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.

Do not attempt to open the charger. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside.
If damaged, call the Customer Support
Department.
DO NOT incinerate the battery pack
even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid fi'om the battery
pack cells may occur under extreme us-
age, charging, or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However,
if the outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin:
* Wash quickly with soap and water.
* Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
* If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,
flush them with clean water fbr a mini-
mum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
