Personal Precautions; Important Safety Instructions - Booster ES2500EU Manual

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

Someone should always 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. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near
lead-acid batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10
minutes and get medical attention immediately.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might
spark or short circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause explosion.
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.
Use the jump starter for jump starting lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for jump
starting dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These
batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge or jump start a frozen battery.
To prevent arcing, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same
piece of metal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result
in a risk of damage to the unit or injury to personnel. In addition, modifying or
changing the jump starter can be dangerous and will void the warranty on this
product.
When using the wall charger or power extension cord, pull on the plug and never
on the wire when disconnecting.

cord. Replace them immediately.
The jump starter may be used under any weather condition – rain, snow, hot or cold
temperatures.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline, etc.
If the jump starter receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged in any way, have
it checked by a qualified service person. If the jump starter is leaking battery acid,
do not ship it. Take it to the closest battery recycler in your area.
Do not disassemble the jump starter. Have it checked by a qualified service person.
The jump starter should never be left in a completely discharged state for any
period of time. Damage to the battery could be permanent, with poor performance
