PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your
aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing
or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near
lead-acid batteries.
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.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It might spark
or short circuit the battery or another electrical part that may cause explosion.
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.
Use the CHARGE IT! for jump starting lead-acid batteries only. Do not use for charging
dry-cell batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries may
burst and cause injury to persons and damage to property.
NEVER charge or jump start a frozen battery.
To prevent arcing, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or to contact the same piece
of metal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may result in a
risk of damage to the unit or injury to personnel.
When using the wall charger or power extension cord, pull on the plug and never on
the wire when disconnecting.
Do not recharge the CHARGE IT! with a damaged wall charger or power extension
cord. Replace them immediately.
The CHARGE IT! may be used under any weather condition – rain, snow, hot or cold
temperatures.
Do not submerge in water.
Do not operate with flammables such as gasoline, etc.
If the CHARGE IT! receives a sharp blow or is otherwise damaged in any way, have
it checked by a qualified service person. If the CHARGE IT! is leaking battery acid, do
not ship it. Take it to the closest battery recycler in your area.
Do not disassemble the CHARGE IT! Have it checked by a qualified service person.
The CHARGE IT! should never be left in a completely discharged state for any period
of time. Damage to the battery could be permanent, with poor performance as a result.
When not in use recharge every three (3) months.
