• Avoid danger Don’
• Keep children awayKeep away from children. This is not a toy!
• Store indoors. When not in use, battery chargers should be stored indoors in dry
children.
• Unplug the battery charger when not in use.
• Check for damaged parts. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by manufacturer unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual before further use.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER CORDS
• Don’t abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
Pull by plug rather than cord when unplugging the unit.
• Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection should be provided on the circuits or outlets to be used. Receptacles are available
having built in GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of safety
DANGER – Never alter AC cord or plug pr– if it will not fit the outlet, have aproper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Improper connection can result in a risk of an electric shock.
Extension Cords
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary Use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock, and will void warranty
If an extension cord must be used, make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw
of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number

Power Cord Safety
The BC15BS has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature. This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way
defeat this safety feature.
The BC25BS battery charger is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the
sketch A in the illustration below
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: Before using adapter as illustrated, be certain that center screw of outlet plate is grounded. The green-colored rigid ear or
lug extending from adapter must be connected to a properly grounded outlet– make certain it is grounded. If necessary
outlet cover plate screw with a longer screw that will secure adapter ear or lug to outlet cover plate and make ground connection to
grounded outlet.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BA
WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property
intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
