WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE.
This battery charger is for use on a
nominal 120V circuit. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The plug pins
must fit the receptacle (outlet). Do not use

a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. An improper connection can
result in a risk of an electric shock or
electrocution.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cord could result
in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an
extension cord must be used, make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension
cord are the same number, size and
shape as those of the plug on the charger.
• That the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition.
• That the wire size is large enough for the
AC ampere rating of the charger,
