WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: – RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES

Working in vicinity of a lead-acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance that you follow the instructions each time you use the Jump Starter.

Work Area Safety

1.  Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2.  Do not operate Jump Starter in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The Jump Starter can create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.  Keep children and bystanders away while operating the Jump Starter. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
4.  Store idle equipment. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

Electrical Safety

1.  Do not drop a metal tool onto battery. It might spark or short-circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
2.  Do not operate if Jump Starter has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it to a qualified technician.
3.  Do not leave Jump Starter unattended while switched on. It could result in fire and property damage.
4.  Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the Jump Starter will increase the risk of electric shock.
5.  Do not use an extension cord with this item.
6.  Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
7. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting the Adapter.
8. Do not operate with damaged cord or plug. Replace the cord or plug immediately.

Personal Safety

1. Wear ANSI-approved splash-resistant safety goggles and heavy-duty rubber work gloves whenever connecting, disconnecting, or working near battery. Battery acid can cause permanent blindness. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

2.  Do not use Jump Starter while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating Jump Starter may
   result in serious personal injury.

3.  NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.

4.  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.

5.  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.

6.  People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

Service

Have your Jump Starter serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the Jump Starter is maintained.
