b) Attach the red (positive +) clamp of the 2 foot battery extension cable to the positive terminal of the 12VDC car battery. Make sure the clamp is securely attached to the battery terminal. Note that on some vehicles, you may have to remove a plastic cover from the positive battery terminal before you can make this connection. -
Page 11: Cleaning The Tool
Though it is sometimes cool to watch, there is usually no reason to heat a nut to a red-hot condition in order to loosen it. In fact, heating a nut to a red-hot condition will shorten the life of the Coil Attachment and may change the molecular structure of the metal, thus changing the parts integral design. -
