1. This charger
SHOULD NOT
be used to charge Lithium-Ion batteries.
2. Wear complete eye, hand and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes
while working near a battery.
3. Clean the battery terminals before they are connected to the charger. Be
careful to keep corrosion from coming into contact with your eyes.
4. If battery electrolyte contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap
and water. If electrolyte enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with
running clean cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
5. Batteries generate explosive gases during normal operation. Use in a well-
ventilated area.

smoke, strike a match or cause a spark within the vicinity of a
battery or engine. Avoid explosive gas, flames and sparks.

vehicle battery. These items may produce a short-circuit that could cause
severe burns.

10. of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit a
battery or other electrical hardware which may cause an explosion or fire.
11. Study all battery manufacturer's specific precautions such as removing or
not removing cell caps while charging and recommended rates of
charge.
12. When it is necessary to remove a battery from a vehicle to charge it,
always remove the grounded terminal from the battery first. Make sure all
accessories in the vehicle are off.

NOT
intended to supply power to an extra-low-voltage
electrical system or to charge dry-cell batteries. Charging dry-cell batteries
may burst and cause injury to persons and property.
