Important Safety Instructions
Danger: THIS EQUIPMENT IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH LEAD-ACID
BATTERIES. WORKING NEAR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES IS DANGEROUS!
Batteries contain sulfuric acid.
Batteries may generate explosive gases.
Batteries are an energy source that can produce high amounts of
electrical current.
FOR THESE REASONS, IT IS OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE THAT YOU
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM EXACTLY.
WHEN WORKING WITH LEAD-ACID BATTERIES:
Wear complete protection for eyes, face, hands, and clothing.
Examples are safety goggles or face shield, a rubber apron, and
gloves.
If battery acid enters your eye, immediately flush your eye with
running cold water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention
immediately.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water.
NEVER smoke or allow a flame or spark near batteries.
NEVER allow a metal object, such as a tool, to contact more than one
terminal of a battery at a time, or to simultaneously contact a terminal
and a grounded object (such as the battery enclosure). Even a
momentary short circuit can cause sparking or explosion. To avoid
such short circuits:
Remove watches, bracelets and rings.
Use only tools having insulated handles.
If insulated tools are not available, completely cover tool handles
with a minimum of three half-lapped layers of vinyl electrical tape.
Ensure that wrenches with more than one working end have only
one end exposed.
Always follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations and
admonishments.
