Keep charger and charger plug free of contamination and dirt. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
Keep cord and charger away from heat to prevent damage to housing or internal parts.
Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger.
Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug when disconnecting from the charge port. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard. Have damaged cords replaced by an authorized service center immediately.
Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Do not store or charge battery packs or charger in locations where the temperature is less than 50 F or more than 100 F. Do not store outside or in vehicles.
Do not operate charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, have the charger replaced by an authorized service person.
Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorized service person for electrical check to determine if the charger is in good working order.
Make sure cords are located so that they will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in contact with sharp edges or moving parts, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. This will reduce the risk of accidental falls, which could cause injury, and damage to the cords, which could result in electric shock.
Do not disassemble charger. Opening the charger will void its warranty.
If charger requires service or repair during the warranty period, take it to an authorized service center to be replaced.
