BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Connect and disconnect the DC output clips only
after setting any control switches to the OFF position. Never
allow the clips to touch each other.
1. Lead-acid batteries generate oxygen and hydrogen. These
gases can be explosive. Keep batteries well ventilated. Remove
any source of ignition such as an open flame or a tool like a
heater from the area. Sparks may also ignite the gas.
2. Lead batteries contain sulfuric acid, also referred to as
electrolyte or battery acid. The acid is corrosive and can
cause a skin burn if leaking or splashed. The acid may also
pose a threat if inhaled or ingested accidentally. The acid
can destroy normal clothing and injure the flesh
underneath. Wear splash-proof goggles and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
3. Batteries are heavy due to the weight of the lead and liquid
contained inside. A lead-acid battery could weigh upwards
of 50-60 lbs. Use safe lifting methods if moving the battery.
BATTERY LEADS SAFETY

unit is connected to a vehicle battery. This will cause a
discharge and may result in electrocution.
1. Do not operate this tool if the leads are frayed or damaged
as an electric shock or surge may occur, resulting in

the insulation before each use.
1.2 Discontinue use if the leads feel more than comfortably
warm while operating the tool.
