1. Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual and on the battery
charger, the battery, and the product using the 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 these
rechargeable batteries specifically designated on your charger’s label. Other types of batteries may burst, causing
personal injury or damage.
2. Do not use the charger outdoors or expose it to wet or damp conditions. Water entering the charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.
3. 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.
4. Do not abuse the cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord to
disconnect the plug from receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock
hazard. Replace damaged cords immediately.

edges or moving parts, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls,
which could cause injury and damage to the cord, which could then result in electric shock.
6. Keep the cord and charger from heat to prevent damage to the housing or internal parts.

result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, make sure that:
•The cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition;
•The size is large enough for AC ampere rating of charger as specified below:
The Cord Length (Feet) 25’ 50’ 100’
Cord Size (AWG) 16 16 16

9. Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger repaired or replaced by an authorized service technician at Service Center.
10. Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or has otherwise been damaged in any
way. Take it to an authorized service technician at Authorized Service Center for an electrical check to
