WARNING

 

WORK AREA SAFETY 

 

Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well lit. 
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the jumpstarter in confined work 
areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. 

 

Do not use the jumpstarter where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the 
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite 
the flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 

 

Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the jumpstarter. Do not 
allow children to handle the jumpstarter.  

 

WARNING

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Risk of explosive gases. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries 
generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. Do not smoke, use matches, or a 
cigarette lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing. The 
static discharge from vinyl clothing rubbing together may ignite explosive gases, causing injury 
and/or property damage.
