POWER CORD SAFETY
The battery charger is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A
temporary adapter, which looks like the plug illustrated in Figures B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Before using an adapter as shown in the following
illustration, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded.
The green-colored rigid ear or lug extending from adapter must be
connected to a properly grounded outlet– make certain it is grounded.
If necessary, replace the original outlet cover plate screw with a longer
screw that will secure the adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and
make ground connection to a grounded outlet.
Specific Safety Instructions for
Battery Chargers
WARNING – Burst hazard: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell
batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property.
Use the unit for charging/boosting a 12 volt lead-acid battery only. It
is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application.
• Use of accessories and attachments: The use of any accessory
or attachment not recommended by manufacturer for use with this
battery charger could be hazardous.
• Do not operate the battery charger near flammable liquids or in
gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors may spark, and the
sparks might ignite fumes.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, never immerse the
battery charger in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.
WARNING – Risk of explosive gases:
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this
13. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, shall be placed on the apparatus.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
CAN ICES-3(B).
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to ratio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
NOTICE: Per FCC Part 15, changes or modifications to this equipment
not expressly approved by D
WALT could void your authority to operate
this equipment.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Specific Safety Instructions for Power Cords
• Don’t abuse the cord. Protect the power cord from being walked
on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus. Never carry the apparatus
by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep the cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Pull by plug rather than cord when
unplugging the unit.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be
provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are
available having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this
measure of safety.
DANGER – Never alter AC Power Cord or plug provided. If it will
not fit the outlet, have aproper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
Extension Cords
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, and will void warranty.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
