SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ELECTRIC UNITS
General Electric Safety
• Do not expose the unit to rain or wet conditions. Store the unit
indoors.
• Do not handle the unit with wet hands.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Do not operate the unit in the
rain, in wet conditions or on wet surfaces. Moisture is a shock
hazard.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, avoid body contact with
grounded conductors, such as metal pipes or wire fences.
• Do not operate the unit in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Battery Charger Safety
• Follow all charging instructions. Do not charge the battery
outside the temperature range specified in these instructions.
Improperly charging the battery or charging the battery outside
of the specified temperature range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
• A nameplate on the unit indicates the voltage used. Never
connect the unit to an AC voltage that differs from this voltage.
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Do not use multiple extension cords.
• Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough to carry the
current drawn by the unit. An undersized extension cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
overheating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge cord. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

120 VOLT APPLIANCES USING 0-6 AMPS
Cord Length (ft.) 25 50 100 150
Wire Size (AWG) 16 16 16 14
• Make sure the cords are in good condition. Inspect the power
cord and extension cord periodically. Look closely for
eterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. If a cord is
d
damaged in any manner while plugged in, disconnect the cord
from both the outlet and the unit. Do not use a damaged cord.
Damaged cords should be repaired or replaced.
• Do not abuse cords. Never pull or carry the unit by a cord. Keep
cords away from heat, oil, water, sharp edges, and moving
objects. Always grasp the plug when disconnecting a cord.
• Never modify a plug, cord or outlet in any way.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
•
provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used with this unit.
For an extra measure of safety, use receptacles with built-in
GFCI protection.
• Do not place the battery charger where cords might be stepped
on, tripped over or subjected to damage.
• Do not charge batteries in the rain or in wet conditions. Keep the
battery charger in a cool and dry area.
• Keep the battery charger away from all liquid.
• Do not allow small metal items or material such as steel wool,
aluminum foil or other foreign particles into the charger port.
• Do not probe the charger with conductive material. There is a
risk of electric shock.
• Do not cover the battery charger. The battery charger may
overheat.
• Do not allow the battery or battery charger to overheat. If they
are warm, allow them to cool down. Only charge batteries in
temperatures between 32° and 104° F (0° and 40° C).
• Always unplug the battery charger before cleaning it. Always
unplug the battery charger when it is not in use.
Battery Safety
• Do not expose the battery to fire or to temperatures over 176º F
(80º C). Doing so could cause an explosion.
• Handle batteries with care. Do not short the battery with
conductive materials, such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc.
Shorting the battery may cause personal injury, damage to the
battery or a fire.
• When the battery is not in use, keep it away from small metal
objects, such as paper clips, coins, nails, etc. These items could
connect one terminal to another and short the battery.
• Do not attempt to charge a cracked or damaged battery.
• Do not use a damaged or modified battery. Doing so could result
in a fire, explosion or personal injury.
