1.2. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
1. Explosive gases can be emitted during the charging duration.
2. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery.
3. Never charge a frozen battery.
4. 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.
5. Be extra cautious, to reduce the risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It
might spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
6. To prevent sparking, NEVER allow clamps to touch together or contact the same
piece of metal.
7. Wear protective clothes, gloves and goggles to use the charger. Avoid touching
your eyes while working near the battery.
8. If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash the area with
soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood the eye with cold running
water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention right away.
9. If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs or water.
DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
10. Read, understand and follow all instructions for the charger, battery, vehicle and
any equipment used near the battery and the charger.
11. Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle owner's manual
and make sure that the output voltage of the charger is correct.
