8 Charger Safety
– Do not operate a charger that has received a sharp
or heavy blow, has been dropped or is otherwise
damaged in any way.
– Do not attempt to repair, open or disassemble the
charger. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
￭ To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire from a short
circuit:
– Make sure the battery and charger are completely
dry before starting the charging process.
– Never bridge the contacts of the charger with wires
or other metallic objects.
– Do not insert any objects into the charger's cooling
slots.
￭ The charger heats up during the charging process. To
reduce the risk of fire:
– Do not operate on a combustible surface (e.g.,
paper, cardboard, textiles) or in a combustible
environment.
– Allow the charger to cool down normally. Do not
cover it.
￭ Chargers can produce sparks which may ignite
combustible gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other
combustible materials. To reduce the risk of fire and
explosion:
– Do not operate in a location where combustible
gases, liquids, vapors, dusts or other combustible
materials are present.
￭ Using a damaged power supply cord or plug may result in
fire, electric shock and other personal injury or property
damage. To reduce these risks:
– Check the charger's power supply cord
and plug regularly for damage. If
damaged, immediately disconnect the
plug from the wall outlet.
– Replace the charger if the power supply cord
becomes damaged. The power supply cord cannot
be repaired or replaced.

– Unplug the power supply cord from the outlet when
the charger is not in use.
– Never jerk the power supply cord to disconnect it
from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug, not
the power supply cord.
– Do not use the power supply cord for any other
purpose, e.g., for carrying or hanging up the charger.
– Make sure the power supply cord is located or
marked so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over,
come in contact with sharp objects or moving parts,
or otherwise be subjected to damage or stress.
￭ An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. Overloading an extension cord can result in
overheating and fire. If an extension cord must be used:
– Use only a properly wired 16 gauge (AWG 16) or
heavier gauge extension cord.
– Never connect more than one charger or other
device to an extension cord.
– Never use an extension cord with a wattage rating
lower than the wattage on your charger's rating
plate.
– Never use an extension cord if the blades on its plug
are different from the blades on the charger plug in
number, size or shape.
– Do not link (chain) extension cords.
￭ In case of fire, or if the charger or the battery it is charging
emits smoke, an unusual smell, feels hot or appears
abnormal in any other way:
– Immediately disconnect the charger from the outlet.
Contact the authorities in the event of fire or
explosion.
