to property.
3. Use only attachments recommended or sold by manufacturer.
Use of non-recommended attachments may result in fire,
electric shock, or injury.

Use of an improper extension cord could result in fire or electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
• Pins on plug of extension cord are the same number, size,
and shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• Extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
