6. Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit
the battery or other electrical part and cause an explosion.
7. 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.
8. Use the battery charger for charging gel-cell, AGM or flooded lead-acid batteries only. Do not use the
charger 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.
9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
PREPARING TO CHARGE
1. Be sure the area around the battery is well ventilated.
2. Clean battery terminals. Be careful to keep corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
3. Add distilled water in each cell until battery acid reaches level specified by battery manufacturer. This
helps purge excessive gas from cells. Do not overfill. For a battery without cell caps, carefully follow manu-
facturer's recharging instructions.
4. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or not removing cell caps while
charging and recommended rates of charge.
GROUNDING AND a.c. POWER CORD CONNECTION
1. The charger should be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock.
