Specific Safety Instructions For Inverters; Specific Safety Instructions For Compressors; Specific Safety Instructions For Jump Starters - Black & Decker PPRH5B Instruction Manual

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 by connector rather
than cord when disconnecting the extension cord from the unit; and by the plug when disconnecting
the extension cord from an AC outlet.
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.

SPEcIFIc SAFETY INSTRucTIONS FOR INVERTERS

• Do not use this inverter with medical devices. It is not tested for medical applications.
• If there is any sign that your appliance is functioning differently from when it is connected to a
standard AC wall receptacle, unplug it and seek advice from your appliance manufacturer before
continuing use with this inverter.

SPEcIFIc SAFETY INSTRucTIONS FOR cOMPRESSORS

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURy OR PROPERTy DAmAGE: Never leave the
compressor unattended while in use.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD: BURSTING ARTIClES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURy.
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed the recommended pressure listed in instructions on articles to be inflated. If no
pressure is given, contact article manufacturer before inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the pressure gage.
• Never leave the compressor unattended while in use.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTy DAmAGE: Do not operate compressor
continuously for longer than approximately 10 minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it
may overheat.

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.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine or power station
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury to persons.
• 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 similar metal object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can
cause dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps together. This can cause
dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle's battery and engine, stand the unit on a flat, stable surface,
and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common metal conductor — this
could cause damage to the unit and/or create a sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp to the positive ungrounded
battery post and the negative (black) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black) clamp to the negative ungrounded
battery post and the positive (red) clamp to the vehicle chassis or engine block away from the
battery. Do not connect the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gage metal part of the frame or engine block.
• If the connections to the battery's positive and negative terminals are incorrect, the reverse polarity
indicator will light and the unit will sound a continuous alarm until the clamps are disconnected.
Disconnect clamps and reconnect to battery with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the positive (red) jumper
cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before disposing of the battery,
protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in
injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC battery system. Do not
connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular battery. Do not attempt to
operate a vehicle that does not have a battery installed.
• excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle's starter motor. If the engine fails to start after the
recommended number of attempts, discontinue jump-start procedures and look for other problems
that may need to be corrected.
• Do not use this jump starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be laid flat during
storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit's working life,
protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
• FIRST AID – SKIN: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with water, then
wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical
attention.
EyES: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately, for a minimum of 15
minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
