Grounding, AC Power Cord Connections
and General Charger Use
WARNING
Risk of electric shock and re.
Do not remove or bypass the grounding pin.•
Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or •
plug. Replace the cord or plug immediately.
Position the power cord and charger cables away •
from the hood, doors or hot/moving engine parts
where they could be damaged.
Unplug the power cord by pulling the plug rather •
than the cord when disconnecting the charger from
the outlet.
The charger power cord uses an equipment-•
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. Only
plug it into an outlet that is correctly installed and
grounded in accordance with all ordinances and local
codes.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet before •
cleaning or maintaining the charger. Simply turning
off the controls will not reduce safety risk.
Do not operate the charger after a sharp impact, •
dropping it or any other damage.
Do not disassemble the charger; call a Snap-on •
Representative when service or repairs are required.
Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shockorre.
Only use the recommended attachments. Use of an •
attachment not recommended or sold by Snap-on
mayresultintheriskofare,electricshockorinjury
to persons.
Do not charge a frozen battery. Do not overcharge •
battery when operating in manual mode.
Use the charger for charging a lead-acid battery •
only. It is not intended to supply power to a low
voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use the battery charger for
charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used
with home appliances. These batteries may burst and
cause injury to persons and damage to property.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, •
bracelets, necklaces and watches when working with
a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce
a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or
the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
