AC POWER CORD CONNECTION INSTRUCTIONS

4. The charger must be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. The

charger is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet

that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

DANGER: NEVER ALTER CHARGER’S ORIGINAL AC CORD OR

PLUG. IF THE PLUG DOES NOT FIT OUTLET, HAVE PROPER

OUTLET INSTALLED BY A qUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. IMPROPER

CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.

DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN CHARGER IS IDLE.

4.2 This battery charger is for use on a nominal 20-volt circuit and has a

grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary

adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figures B and C, may be

used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B, if

a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should

be used only until properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified

electrician.

DANGER: BEFORE USING AN ADAPTER AS ILLUSTRATED, BE

CERTAIN THAT THE CENTER SCREW OF THE OUTLET PLATE

IS GROUNDED (D). THE GREEN-COLORED RIGID EAR OR LUG

EXTENDING FROM ADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED TO A

PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET. MAKE CERTAIN IT IS GROUNDED.

IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE ORIGINAL OUTLET COVER PLATE

SCREW WITH A LONGER SCREW THAT WILL SECURE THE

ADAPTER EAR OR LUG TO THE COVER PLATE AND MAKE THE

GROUND CONNECTION TO THE GROUNDED OUTLET.
