PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

2.1 Always have someone within range of your voice, or close enough to come to your aid, when
working around lead acid batteries.
2.2 Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
2.3 Wear complete eye protection, clothing protection, and wear rubber soled shoes. Place damp
cloth over battery to protect against acid spray. When ground is very wet or covered with snow,
wear rubber boots. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
2.4 If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters eye,
immediately flush with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
2.5 NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
2.6 Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark or short
circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
2.7 Before working with a lead acid battery, remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces, watches, etc. A lead acid battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to
weld such items, causing a severe burn.
2.8 CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INjURY, CHARGE ONLY RECHARGEABLE LEAD
ACID TYPE BATTERIES WHICH MAY INCLUDE MAINTENANCE FREE, LOW MAINTE-
NANCE, OR DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES. OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES MAY BURST, CAUS-
ING PERSONAL INjURY AND DAMAGE.
The NAPA Digital Wheel Charger is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical sys-
tem other than applications using rechargeable, lead-acid type batteries. Do not use this battery
charger for charging dry-cell batteries commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause personal injury and property damage.
2.9 NEVER charge a frozen battery; thaw it out first.
