* If the input rating of a charger is given in watts rather
than in amperes, the corresponding ampere rating is
to be determined by dividing the wattage rating by the
voltage rating–for example:
1,250 watts
125 volts
8. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug-
replace them immediately.
9. Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
way; take it to a qualifi ed serviceman.
10. Do not disassemble charger; take it to a qualifi ed
serviceman when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fi re.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from
receptacle before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this
risk.

such as inside metal box or car.
12. NEVER expose the battery or charger to rain or wet
conditions.
13. ALWAYS operate charger on standard household
electrical power (120 volts). Using the charger on any
other voltage may overheat and damage the charger.
