CAUTION
Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.
} Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal operation. For this reason it is
important that you refer back to these instructions if you have any
questions on tool operation.
} To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions, those
published by the battery manufacturer, and the manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Observe
cautionary markings on these items.
} Another person should 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.
} Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
} If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with running
cold water for at least ten minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
} NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of the battery or engine.
} Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the
battery. It could spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts
and could cause an explosion.
} Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. These items can produce
a short-circuit current high enough to weld a ring or like to metal causing
a severe burns.
