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 CS2000 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.
