9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD

for the charger. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.

wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

1. Read all instructions and warn-

ings on the battery and charger before charging the battery.

2. Charge only using the supplied charger and battery. Do not use

with other batteries, chargers or cutting tools.

3. Do not expose battery or charger to wet or rainy conditions.

Moisture greatly increases the risk of a shock hazard.

4. Do not touch battery poles with any conductive materials. Touching any two poles at the same time causes a short condition and can cause sparks or electrical shock.

5. Do not store battery with conductive materials. Storing the battery

in a box of screws or nails can cause shorting across the battery poles.

6. Do not throw battery in fire.

Combustion of some of the batteries’ component materials can cause toxic fumes and possible explosion.

7. If charger light fails to come on

check the incoming power supply. If power source is okay, then the fuse inside the charger needs replacement. Charger should be serviced by a qualified electrical technician only.

8. Charger plug has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the

other). Do not attempt to modify the plug. Modifying the plug will result in a safety hazard and will void the warranty.

9. Charger is designed to operate at 110-120 volts. Never try to plug

into any circuit that is not 110-120 volts. Never modify or change the plug that is attached to the charger unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt. This can cause serious electrical damage to the unit, possible fire or explosion.

BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. Consult your local Yellow Pages

directory under the category “Recycling” to locate a battery recycler in your area.
