When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

IMPORTANT:

IMPORTANT. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage caused when the appliance is not used according to the instructions, or for uses other than those for which it was intended.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, damage or injury:

• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES.
• Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
• Use only as described in this manual.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to place of purchase for service.
• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See grounding instructions.

• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.

• Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair and anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
• Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
• Do not use without dust cup filter in place.
• Turn off all controls before unplugging.

• Do not attempt to service the unit while appliance is plugged in.
• Do not use vacuum to pick up water or any wet materials.

Power Cord, 2-Wire Polarized Cord

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
