• Ensure that other objects cannot cause a short circuit at the contacts of the device.
• Ensure that the negative and positive poles never come into contact.
• Do not use the cables as a handle.

2.2 Operating the device safely
DANGER! Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.

Electrocution hazard

• Do not touch exposed cables with your bare hands. This applies especially when operating the device from the AC power supply.
• To be able to disconnect the device quickly from the AC power supply, the socket must be close to the device and be easily accessible.

CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Explosion hazard

• Do not operate the device under the following conditions:
  – In salty, wet or damp environments
  – In the vicinity of corrosive fumes
  – In the vicinity of combustible materials
  – In areas where there is a risk of gas or dust explosion

• Do not place the jump starter near heat sources (heaters, direct sunlight, gas ovens, etc.).

• Do not leave the device unattended when in use.

Electrocution hazard

• Before starting the device, ensure that the power supply cable and the plug are dry and the plug is free from rust or dirt.

• When working on electrical systems, ensure that there is somebody close at hand who can help in emergencies.

• Lay the cables so that they cannot be damaged by sharp edges, doors or the hood.
  Do not lay any cable so that it is heavily kinked. Crushed cables can lead to serious injury.

Safety precautions when handling batteries

WARNING! Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
Risk of injury

• Batteries contain aggressive and caustic acids. Avoid battery fluid coming into con- tact with your body. If your skin does come into contact with battery fluid, wash that part of your body thoroughly with water.
  If you sustain any injuries from acids, contact a doctor immediately.

CAUTION! Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.
Risk of injury

• When working on batteries, do not wear any metal objects such as watches or rings.
  Lead acid batteries can cause short circuits which can cause serious injuries.

• Wear goggles and protective clothing when you work on batteries. Do not touch your eyes when you are working on batteries.

Health hazard

• Do not open or damage batteries or allow them to enter the environment, as they contain toxic and environmentally harmful heavy metals.

Explosion hazard

• Never attempt to jump-start or charge a frozen or defective battery.
  Place the battery in a frost-free area and wait until the battery has acclimatised to the ambient temperature.

• Do not smoke, use an open flame, or cause sparking near the engine or a battery.

NOTICE! Damage hazard

• Only use rechargeable batteries.
• Prevent any metal parts from falling on the battery. This can cause sparks or short-circuit the battery and other electrical parts.
• Ensure that the polarity is correct when connecting the battery.
• Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer and those of the manufacturer of the system or vehicle in which the battery is used.
• Only store fully charged batteries. Recharge stored batteries regularly.
• Observe the specified optimum storage temperature, as long-term storage at high and low temperatures can impair the service life and performance of the battery.
• Avoid deep discharge of the batteries. Immediately recharge deeply discharged lead batteries to avoid sulfation.
