After use and before performing maintenance, unplug and disconnect the
battery charger (see sections 6, 7 and 8).
Use a dry cloth to wipe all battery corrosion and other dirt or oil from the
terminals, cords, and the charger case.
Ensure that all of the charger components are in place and in good working
condition.
Servicing does not require opening the unit, as there are no user-
serviceable parts.
All other servicing should be performed by qualied service personal.
Store charger unplugged, in an upright position. Cord will still conduct
electricity until it is unplugged from outlet.
Store inside, in a dry, cool place.
Do not store clips on the handle, clipped together, on or around metal, or
clipped to the cables.
If the charger is moved around the shop or transported to another location,
take care to avoid/prevent damage to the cords, clips and charger. Failure to
do so could result in personal injury or property damage.
