immerse the apparatus in liquid or allow a liquid
to ow inside the apparatus. Water entering an
apparatus will increase the risk for electric shock.
•Clean only with dry cloth. Certain cleaning
agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and
other insulated parts. Some of these include:
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thin-
ner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and

receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus. Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord to carry the radio or pull the plug from
an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock and may create a re.

•Referallservicingtoqualiedserviceperson-
nel. Servicing is required when the radio has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or ob-
jects have fallen into the radio, the radio has been
exposed to rain or moisture or does not operate
normally. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•Abatteryoperatedradiowithintegralbatteries
oraseparatebatterypackmustberecharged
onlywiththespeciedchargerforthebattery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of
battery may create a risk of re when used with
another battery.
•Usebatteryoperatedradioonlywithspeci-
callydesignatedbatterypacks. Use of any other
batteries may create a risk of re.
•Whenbatterypackisnotinuse,keepitaway
from other metal objectslike:paperclips,
coins,keys,nails,screws,orothersmallmetal
objectsthatcanmakeaconnectionfromone
terminaltoanother. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause sparks, burns, or a re.
•Avoidbodycontactwithgroundedsurfaces
suchaspipes,radiators,rangesandrefrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
•Donotuseanyadaptorplugs.
•Whenoperatingaradiooutside,useanout-
doorextension cord marked “W-A”or“W”.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
•Neverdisassembletheradioortrytodoany

Double insulated tools can use RQO\D
three wire extension cord. As the distance from the
supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.
