Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of electric shock, f ire
or exposure to battery chemicals. If it is damaged contact KATANA
Customer Service.
10. BATTERY CHEMICALS CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS.
Never allow contact with skin, eyes, or mouth. If a damaged battery
pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber or neoprene gloves to dispose

rechargeable batter ies. Any other use may result in risk of re, electric
shock or electrocution.
3. Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a
soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat. Place the charger
in a position away from any heat source.
4. To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug
rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
5. Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
