SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNINGS:
(Warning statements identify conditions or practices that may result in personal
injury or loss of life)
1) When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate assis-
tance is available in case of accident or emergency.
2) Always use protective eyewear when using this product: contact with battery
acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns, be aware of first aid proce-
dures in case of accidental contact with battery acid. Compressor use may
cause dust or debris to create eye hazards.
3) There is a risk of explosive gases being released when lead acid batteries
are being charged or discharged. Failure to follow instructions may cause
property damage, explosive hazard, and/or personal injury.
4) When connecting the battery clamps to a discharged battery, and an alarm
sounds - the polarity is reversed.
5) When charging unit from a 120 Volt AC electrical outlet in any wet or damp
area, make sure that the outlet used is protected by a ground fault interrupt
(GFCI) outlet.
6) When charging the unit near water, do not allow the electrical cords and
outlets to get wet or come near water-electrical shock could result.
7) Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-ventilat-
ed area.
8) When using this unit in proximity 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 components.
9) Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle, friction can cause
dangerous static-electricity sparks. Remove all jewelry or metal objects that
could cause short circuits or react with battery acid.
10) Always disconnect the negative (Black) jumper cable first: followed by the
positive (Red) jumper cable, except for positive ground systems.
11) 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 spark-
ing/explosion hazard. Always store battery clamps in built-in holsters when
not in use.
12) Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat as it may explode. Before dis-
posing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical
tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
13) Do not smoke or use inflammable items (matches, cigarette lighters, etc.)
while working on a vehicle's battery system.
14) Keep unit out of reach of children (whether stored, or in use)
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.
