1. SAFETY
1.1.
GENERAL SAFETY.
Observe standard workshop safety procedures when using the unit.
Ensure that the vehicle ignition switch is turned OFF before connecting the unit.
Ensure there is another person within hearing range, or close enough to come to your aid when working near, or with, lead-acid
batteries.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working with or near the vehicle battery.
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. If acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool,
clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which may cause severe burns.
Keep the work area clean and uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting. Keep tools and other items away from the engine
and ensure you can see the vehicle battery and working parts of engine clearly.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.

Charger plug electrical safety. Use only the supplied charger plug for connecting the charger to the power supplier.
WARNING! It is the user's responsibility to read, understand and comply with the following electrical instructions: You must ensure the
risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. An RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) should
be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a RCD (Residual Current Device) is used with all electrical
products, particularly portable equipment which is plugged into an electrical supply not protected by an RCCB. You must also read
and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety: The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires all portable electrical
appliances, if used on business premises, to be tested by a qualified electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once
a year.
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of the appliance and
the safety of the appliance operator. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
You must ensure that you: Inspect the charger plug, cable and connector for wear and damage to ensure items are safe before
connecting to the mains power supply. If worn or damaged DO NOT use.
Check that the voltage marked on the charger plug is the same as the unit.
Uncoil the cable between the charger plug and the unit.
DO NOT pull the charger plug from the mains socket by the lead.
WARNING! DO NOT use any other type of charger with this product other than the supplied mains charger. Failure to observe this
warning could result in injury and/or fire and will invalidate the warranty.
DO NOT attempt to dismantle the charger plug.
DO NOT use the charger plug to charge or power any other electrical item.
DO NOT get the charger plug wet, or use in wet, damp conditions.
1.3.
