_CAUT|ON: To reduce the risk o;_electric shock
or damage to the charger and battery, charge
only nicker-cadmium rechargeabte batteries as
specifically designated on your charger. Other
types of batteries may burst, causing personaI
injury or damage.
Iw Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions. Water enteringcharger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
BUse of an attachment not recommended or sold
by the battery charger manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or seflous personal lnjury_
u Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to
carry the charger. Donet puli the charger cord rather
than the plug when disconnecting from receptacle.
Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create
an electric shock hazard. F_eptacedamaged cords
immediately,
Ig Make sure 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 injun2,and
damage to the cord, which coutd result in e_ectfic
shock.
e Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent
damage to housing or internal parts.
mDo not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in corrta_ with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plasttc_
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary° Use of improper extension cord
could result Ina risk of fire and electric shock If
extension cord must be used, make sure;
a, That p_nson plug of extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of
p{ugon charger,
b That extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is large enotJgh for AC ampere
