SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGE

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.
k CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock
or damage to the charger and battery, charge
only nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries as specifically 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
immediately.
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 subjected 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.
J
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.
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If
damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized serviceman.

way. Take it to an authorized serviceman for electrical
check to determine if the charger is in good working order.

serviceman when service or repair is required. Incorrect
reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Unplug charger from outlet before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning to reduce the risk of electric shock.

not in use. This will reduce the risk of electric shock
or damage to the charger if metal items should fall into the opening. It also will help prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
