PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your
aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near
lead-acid batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark
or short circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit current
high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
Use the Jump Starter for jump starting lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for charging
dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge or jump start a frozen battery.
To prevent arcing, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece
of metal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: Never use an output cable/clamp assembly other than the one that was
included with your unit. The included cable/clamp assembly incorporates numerous
critical safety features. The use of another cable/clamp assembly could result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a
risk of damage to the unit or injury to personnel.
When using the wall charger or power extension cord, pull on the plug and never on
the wire when disconnecting.
Do not recharge the Jump Starter with a damaged wall charger or power extension
cord. Replace them immediately.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush or puncture
internal battery, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.
The Jump Starter may be used under any weather condition – rain, snow, hot or cold
temperatures.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline, etc.
If the Jump Starter receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged in any way, have
it checked by a qualified service person. If the Jump Starter is leaking battery acid, do
not ship it. Take it to the closest battery recycler in your area.
