the user and damage to the product/systems.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

reassembly may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
•
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES. WORKING IN THE 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.
• To reduce the risk of a battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and the manufacturer
of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review the cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
• This jump starter employs parts, such as circuit breakers, that tend to produce arcs and sparks. If used in a repair facility,
locate this jump starter 18 inches (46 cm) or more above floor level.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
• A spark near the battery may cause a battery explosion. To reduce the risk of a spark near the battery:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery or engine.
• 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.
• Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or
other electrical part that may cause an explosion.
• Never jump start a frozen battery.
• To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same piece of metal.
WARNING! THIS JUMP STARTER IS ONLY FOR USE ON VEHICLES WITH A 12V LEAD
ACID STARTER BATTERY.
RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID. BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE
SULFURIC ACID.
• Consider having someone nearby 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 your skin, clothing or eyes.
• Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles, gloves and protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes
while working near the battery.
• If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye,
immediately flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
• If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, contact poison control and reference MSDS. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Keep the jump starter in the specified temperature range: operation: -10°C (14°F) to 40°C (104°F); charging: 0°C (32°F) to
40°C (104°F); storage : -15°C (5°F) to 40°C (104°F).
