5. The battery charger contains components which can produce arcs and sparks
when in use. WARNING: Explosive gases. Prevent flames and sparks. Provide
adequate ventilation during charging.
6. To prevent fire or explosion, only use in a well-ventilated area. When charging,
it is prohibited to start the engine or perform ignition and other dangerous
actions. Do not charge in a garage or other enclosed space. Provide adequate
ventilation during charging.
7. Never touch battery terminals or battery clamps whilst the device is connected
to alternating current.
8. When charging automobile batteries : the battery terminal not connected to
the chassis has to be connected first. The other connection is to be made to the
chassis, remote from the battery and fuel line. The battery
charger is then to be
connected to the supply mains; after charging, disconnect the battery charger
from the supply mains. Then remove the chassis connection and then the
battery connection.

device to a battery.
15. Always make sure that the charger is disconnected from the mains when you
connect it and disconnect it to a battery.
16. Never place the device over or close to the battery to be charged. Gases from

away from the battery as the direct current cable allows.
17. Ensure that the device is always stored in a safe place. Do not expose the device
to rain or snow or other wet conditions. Avoid pouring or dripping water or
