34) Do not short circuit. A short circuited battery
pack may cause fire, personal injury, and product
damage. A battery pack will short circuit if a metal
object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not
place a battery pack near anything that may cause
a short circuit, such as coins, keys or nails in your
pocket.
35) Do not allow fluids to flow into battery pack.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater,
certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach
containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
36) Do not use an extension cord unless it is ab-
solutely necessary. Using the wrong, damaged
or improperly wired extension cord could result in
the risk of fire and electrical shock. If an extension
cord must be used, plug the charger into a properly
wired 16 gauge or larger extension cord with pins
that are the same number, size and shape as the
pins on the charger. Make sure that the extension
cord is in good electrical condition.
37) Use only recommended attachments. Use of an
attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in
a risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
38) Unplug charger when not in use. Remove battery
packs from unplugged chargers.
39) To reduce the risk of electric shock, always
unplug charger before cleaning or maintenance.
Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to
reduce shock hazards.
40) Store your battery pack and charger in a cool,
dry place. Do not store battery pack where tem-
peratures may exceed 120°F (50°C) such as in
direct sunlight, a vehicle or metal building during
the summer.
Federal Communications Commission
WARNING
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
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 lim-
its are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential instal-
lation. 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 radio 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 televi-
sion 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
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.

EXTENSION CORDS
Double insulated tools can use either a two or three
wire extension cord. As the distance from the sup-
ply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inad-
equately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
Refer to the table shown to determine the required
minimum wire size.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater
the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge
cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.
When using more than one extension cord to make
up the total length, be sure each cord contains at
least the minimum wire size required. If you are using
one extension cord for more than one tool, add the
nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine
the required minimum wire size.
Guidelines for Using Extension Cords
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure
it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W" in Canada) to
indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified
person before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Unplug all cords during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

GROUNDING
Double Insulated Radios:
Radios with Two Prong Plugs
Radios marked "Double Insulated" do not require
grounding. They have a special double insulation
system which satisfies OSHA requirements and
complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Cana-
dian Standard Association
and the National Electrical
Code. Double Insulated radi-
os may be used in either of
the 120 volt outlets shown in
Figures A and B.
