• Do not install near any heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appa-

ratus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polar­ized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug

has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug

does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician

for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.

•Onlyuse attachments/accessoriesspecied

by the manufacturer.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.

•Referallservicingtoqualiedserviceperson­nel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has

been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the appara­tus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

• Only plug power supply into readily accessible
outlet to allow the appliance to be unplugged
quickly.

• Only operate this apparatus in a well ventilated
area.

• A battery operated radio with integral batteries
or a separate battery pack must be recharged

onlywiththespeciedchargerforthebattery.
A charger that may be suitable for one type of

battery may create a risk of re when used with

another battery.

•Usebatteryoperatedradioonly withspeci­cally designated battery packs. Use of any other

batteries may create a risk of re.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal
objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause sparks, burns, or a re.

• Store your battery pack and charger in a
cool, dry place. Do not store battery pack where

temperatures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as

direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during
the summer.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera­tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is grounded.

• Do not use any adaptor plugs.

• When operating a radio outside, use an out­door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”.

These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.

Double Insulated

Presence of important operating
instructions.

Caution. Risk of electric shock.

Double insulated tools can use either a two or
three wire extension cord. As the distance from the
supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with
inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in
voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage. Refer to the table shown to determine the
required minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14
gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16
gauge cord. When using more than one extension
cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord
contains at least the minimum wire size required.
If you are using one extension cord for more than
one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the
sum to determine the required minimum wire size.

Guidelines for Using Extension Cords

• If you are using an extension cord outdoors,

be sure it is marked with the sufx “W-A” (“W”
in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for

outdoor use.

• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired

by a qualied person before using it.

• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.

• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

* Based on limiting the line voltage drop to ve volts at

150% of the rated amperes.

EXTENSION CORDS

The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol, within

an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user
to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous volt­age" within the product's enclosure that may be of

sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle

is intended to alert the user to the presence of

important operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO
