SAFETY INFORMATION
WHEN USING (THIS APPLIANCE)
• Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug will only fit into a polarized
extension cord one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will only fit into the polarized wall outlet one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
