An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock.
If extension cord must be used make sure:
a.
That blades of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape as those of
plug on battery charger;
b. That extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition; and
c.
That wire size is large enough for AC ampere rating of battery charger as specified
in Table 1.

If the input rating of a battery 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:
9.
Do not operate battery charger with damaged cord or plug–replace them immediately.
10. Do not operate battery charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in any way; take it to a qualified serviceman.
11. Do not disassemble battery charger; take it to a qualified serviceman when service or
repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
12. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from receptacle before attempting any
maintenance or cleaning. Removing the battery will not reduce this risk.
