SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER

k WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

INSTRUCTIONS.

Failure to follow all instructions

listed below, may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious personal injury.

Before using battery charger,

read all instructions

and cautionary markings in this manual, on battery

charger, battery, and product using battery to prevent
misuse of the products and possible injury or damage.

^ CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of electric shock

or damage to the charger and battery, charge only

nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries as specifi­

cally designated on your charger. Other types of

batteries may burst, causing personal injury or
damage.

Do not use charger outdoors or expose to wet or
damp conditions.

Water entering charger will increase

the risk of electric shock.

Use 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 serious personal injury.

Do not abuse cord or charger.

Never use the cord to

carry the charger. Do not pull 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. Replace damaged cords im­
mediately.

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 subject­
ed to damage or stress.

This will reduce the risk of

accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage

to the cord, which could result in electric shock.

Keep cord and charger from heat to prevent
damage to housing or internal parts.

Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products,
etc. come in contact with plastic parts.

They contain

chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.

An extension cord should not be used unless

absolutely necessary.

Use of improper extension cord

could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If

extension cord must be used, make sure:

a. That pins on plug of extension cord are the

same number, size and shape as those of

plug on charger.

b. That extension cord is properly wired and in

good electrical condition; and

c. That wire size is large enough for AC ampere

rating of charger as specified below:
