a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-

round jacketed extension cords should
be used, and we recommend that they
be listed by Underwriters Laboratories

outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked for
outdoor use can also be used for indoor

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 for a mini-
