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.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working
area.
