GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, BURST HAZARD, OR INJURY TO PERSONS OR
PROPERTY:
• Avoid dangerous environments. Don't use appliances in damp or wet locations. Don't use appliances in the rain.
• Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a distance from work area.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and substantial, non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• Use safety glasses and other safety equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, complying with applicable
safety standards. Safety glasses or the like are available at extra cost at your local dealer.
• Store idle appliance indoors. When not in use, appliances should be stored indoors in dry, and high or locked-up place – out of reach
of children.
• Don't abuse cord. Never carry appliance by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• Disconnect appliances. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories.
• 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.
• Use of accessories and attachments. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use with this appliance could be
hazardous. Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.
• Stay alert. Use common sense. Do not operate appliance when you are tired or impaired.
• Check for damaged parts. Any part that is damaged should be replaced by the manufacturer before further use. Contact the
manufacturer at (877) 571-2391 for more information.
• Do not operate this appliance near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• Never submerge this unit or the 120 volt AC charger in water. Do not expose the unit or the 120 volt AC charger to rain or snow,
or use them when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power source before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off
controls without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
• This equipment employs parts (switches, relays, etc.) that produce arcs or sparks. Therefore, if used in a garage or enclosed
area, the unit MUST be placed not less than 18 inches above the floor.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGING THIS UNIT
• IMPORTANT: This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Fully charge unit with the supplied 120 volt AC charger for a full 24 hours
before using for the first time.
• To recharge this unit, use only the supplied charging adapters. Plug in the charging adapter at the jump starter first, then plug into the
charging source.
• After charging/recharging, disconnect charging adapter and wait 5 minutes before use.
• Do not crush, cut, pull or expose charging adapter cords to extreme heat.
• Pull by plug rather than cord when unplugging the charger.

• Position charging adapter cords so they do not become entangled or become a safety hazard. Keep charging adapter cords away from
sharp edges.
• Use in a dry location only.
• All ON/OFF switches should be in the OFF position when the unit is charging or not in use. Make sure all switches are in the OFF position
before connection to a power source or load.
• Do not attempt to charge the unit if the charger is damaged – return the charger to manufacturer for repair or replacement.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE WHEN CHARGING USING THE 12 VOLT DC METHOD:
• Recharge using this method only when necessary. Frequent use the the 12 Volt DC charging method may shorten battery life.
• DO NOT EXCEED 6 HOURS CHARGING TIME USING THIS METHOD.
EXTENSION CORDS
• Outdoor use extension cords. When appliance is charged outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so
marked.
• 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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss 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
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

When an extension cord is used, make sure that:
• a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those in the charger,
• b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
• c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE: Pull cord by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the
120V AC Charging Adapter from the unit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JUMP STARTERS
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. Use the unit for charging/boosting a lead-acid battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a
low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-motor application.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer specifically for use with this unit may result in a risk of
electrical shock and injury to persons.
WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this
reason, it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the jump-starter you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of
any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the
vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
• Always have 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.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
