SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS:

WARNING STATEMENTS IDENTIFY CONDITIONS OR PRACTICES THAT MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

1)When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.

2)Always use protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns, be aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.

3)There is a risk of explosive gases being released when lead acid batteries are being charged or discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause property damage, explosive hazard, and/or personal injury

4)Make sure the Safety Switch is Off before connecting battery clamps to discharged battery. This will enable the polarity alarm to function.

5)When connecting the battery clamps to a discharged battery, and an alarm sounds, do NOT turn on the Safety Switch - the polarity is reversed. Interchange battery clamps before turning the Safety Switch ON.

6)When charging unit from a 110/120 volt ac electrical outlet in any wet or damp area, make sure that the outlet used is protected by a ground fault interrupt (GFI) Switch.

7)When charging the unit near water, do not allow the electrical cords and outlets to get wet or come near water-electrical shock could result.

8)Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.

9)Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together-this can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing, and/or explosion.

10)When using this unit in proximity to the vehicle’s battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle components.

11)Do not wear vinyl clothing when jumpstarting a vehicle-friction can cause dangerous static electricity sparks. Remove all jewelry or metal objects that could cause short circuits or react with battery acid.

12)Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first: followed by the positive (Red) jumper cable.

13)Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor-this could cause damage to the unit and/or create sparking/explosion hazard. Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when not in use.

14)Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode. Before disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).

15)Do not smoke, use matches or cigarette lighters while working on a vehicle’s battery system.

16)Keep unit out of reach of children (whether stored, or in use)!

FIRST AID:

SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

EYES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately-for minimum of 15 minutes-seek immediate medical attention.
