* If the input rating of a battery charger is
given in watts rather than in amperes,
the corresponding ampere rating is to be
determined by dividing the wattage rating by
the voltage rating―for example:
1,250 watts
125 volts
9. Do not operate battery charger with damaged
cord or plug-replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate battery charger if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or

WARNING
Improper use of the battery or battery
charger can lead to serious injury. To avoid
these injuries:
1. NEVER disassemble the battery.
2. NEVER incinerate the battery, even if it is
damaged or is completely worn out. The
battery can explode in a fi re.
3. NEVER short-circuit the battery.
4. NEVER insert any objects into the battery
charger's air vents. Electric shock or damage to
the battery charger may result.
5. NEVER charge outdoors. Keep the battery
away from direct sunlight and use only where
there is low humidity and good ventilation.
6. NEVER charge when the temperature is below
32°F (0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).
Charging the battery at temperatures outside
the range of 32°F – 104°F (0°C – 40°C) may
prevent proper charging and reduce battery
life.
7. NEVER connect two battery chargers together.
8. NEVER insert foreign objects into the hole for
the battery or the battery charger.
9. NEVER use a booster transformer when
charging.
10. NEVER use an engine generator or DC power
to charge.
11. NEVER store the battery or battery charger in
places where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104°F (40°C).
12. ALWAYS operate
household electrical power (120 volts). Using
the charger on any other voltage may overheat
and damage the charger.
13. ALWAYS wait at least 15 minutes between
charges to avoid overheating the charger.
14. ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from its
receptacle when the charger is not in use.
