First Aid - Black and Decker PPRH5B Manual De Instruccion

only. It is not intended to supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other
than in a starter-motor application.
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer
specifically for use with this unit may result in a risk of electrical shock and
injury to persons.
WARNING:
RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
• Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. For this reason,
it is of the utmost importance that each time before using the jump-starter
you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those
published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary markings
on these products and on the engine.
CAUTION –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if
vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle's
owner's manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery, engine
or power station
• Stay clear of fan blades, belts, pulleys, and other parts that can cause injury
to persons.
• 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 similar metal
object, to skin, causing a severe burn.
• Do not wear vinyl clothing when jump-starting a vehicle. Friction can cause
dangerous static-electrical sparks.
• Be extra careful to avoid dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It might
spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part and could cause
an explosion.
• Jump-start procedures should only be performed in a safe, dry, well-
ventilated area. • Always store battery clamps when not in use. Never touch battery clamps
together. This can cause dangerous sparks, power arcing and/or explosion.
• When using this unit close to the vehicle's battery and engine, stand the unit
on a flat, stable surface, and be sure to keep all clamps, cords, clothing and
body parts away from moving vehicle parts.
• Never allow red and black clamps to touch each other or another common
metal conductor — this could cause damage to the unit and/or create a
sparking/explosion hazard.
a) For negative-grounded systems, connect the positive (red) clamp to the
positive ungrounded battery post and the negative (black) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect
the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
b) For positive-grounded systems, connect the negative (black) clamp to
the negative ungrounded battery post and the positive (red) clamp to the
vehicle chassis or engine block away from the battery. Do not connect
the clamp to the carburetor, fuel lines or sheet-metal body parts. Connect
to a heavy gauge metal part of the frame or engine block.
• If the clamps are connected incorrectly with regard to polarity, the backlit
LCD screen will display the Battery Status Icon, Battery Voltage Indicator,
and the Clamp Icons. The Alarm Icon, the "+" and "–" signs and the Reverse
Polarity Icons will flash and the unit will sound a continuous alarm until the
clamps are disconnected. Disconnect the clamps and reconnect to battery
with correct polarity.
• Always disconnect the negative (black) jumper cable first, followed by the
positive (red) jumper cable, except for positive grounded systems.
• Do not expose battery to fire or intense heat since it may explode. Before
disposing of the battery, protect exposed terminals with heavy-duty electrical
tape to prevent shorting (shorting can result in injury or fire).
• Place this unit as far away from the battery as cables permit.
• Never allow battery acid to come in contact with this unit.
• Do not operate this unit in a closed area or restrict ventilation in any way.
• This system is designed to be used only on vehicles with a 12 volt DC
battery system. Do not connect to a 6 volt or 24 volt battery system.
• This system is not designed to be used as a replacement for a vehicular
battery. Do not attempt to operate a vehicle that does not have a battery
installed.
• Excessive engine cranking can damage a vehicle's starter motor. If the
engine fails to start after the recommended number of attempts, discontinue
jump-start procedures and look for other problems that may need to be
corrected.
• Do not use this jump starter on a watercraft. It is not qualified for marine
applications.
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that
unit be kept upright during storage, use and recharging. To avoid possible
damage that may shorten the unit's working life, protect it from direct
sunlight, direct heat and/or moisture.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR INVERTERS
WARNING
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:
• Do not connect to AC distribution wiring.
• Do not make any electrical connections or disconnections in areas
designated as IGNITION PROTECTED. This inverter is NOT approved for
ignition protected areas.
• Never immerse the unit in water or any other liquid, or use when wet.
WARNING
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE:
• Do not operate near flammable materials, fumes or gases.
• Do not expose to extreme heat or flames.
CAUTION
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
• Disconnect appliance plug from inverter outlet before attempting any repairs
to the appliance.
• When an appliance plugged into this unit is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
• Do not attempt to connect the inverter while operating your vehicle. Not
paying attention to the road may result in a serious accident.
• Always use the inverter where there is adequate ventilation.
• Always turn the inverter off when not in use.
• Keep in mind that this inverter will not operate high wattage appliances or
equipment that produce heat, such as hair dryers, microwave ovens and
toasters.
• Do not use this inverter with medical devices. It is not tested for medical
applications.
• Operate inverter only as described in this Instruction Manual.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USB
PORT
• Do not insert foreign objects into the USB Port.
• Do not attach USB hubs or more than one personal electronic device to the
USB Port.
• Some household USB-powered electronics will not operate with this unit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
COMPRESSORS
CAUTION
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Never leave the compressor unattended while in use.
WARNING
– BURST HAZARD: BURSTING ARTICLES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY.
• Carefully follow instructions on articles to be inflated.
• Never exceed the recommended pressure listed in instructions on articles

inflating.
• Monitor the pressure at all times on the pressure gauge.
CAUTION
– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE:
Do not operate compressor continuously for longer than approximately 10
minutes, depending on ambient temperatures, as it may overheat. This could
damage the compressor.

FIRST AID

When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure immediate
assistance is available in case of accident or emergency.
Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with
battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of first aid
procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• Skin: If battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately with
water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness, pain, or
irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
