1.1.
GENERAL SAFETY.
Observe standard workshop safety procedures when using the unit.
Ensure that the vehicle ignition switch is turned OFF
before connecting the unit.
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close enough to come to your aid when working near, or with, lead-acid
batteries.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working with or near the vehicle battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool,
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting. Keep tools and other items away from the engine
and ensure you can see the vehicle battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
