Personal Precautions; Important Safety Instructions - Berner 120288 Manual De Instrucciones

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 jump
starting 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

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. In addition, modifying or changing the
jump starter can be dangerous and will void the warranty on this product.
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.
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.
Do not disassemble the jump starter. Have it checked by a qualified service person.
