l. The battery Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger’s heat can build
up to unsafe levels and create a fire
hazard if it does not receive
adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or
if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place
the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not
obstruct any vents on the Charger.
