8. Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your
eyes while working near batteries.

water. If acid enters your eye, immediately flood it with running cold water
for at least twenty minutes and get medical attention immediately.

battery first. Make sure all accessories are off so you don’t cause a spark.
Precautions for Using Rechargeable Appliances
Most rechargeable battery-operated equipment uses a separate charger or
transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle and produces a low voltage
charging output.
Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected to the
Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger. Do not use the following with the Freedom 10
Inverter/Charger:
• Small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors, and night lights that
can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to recharge.
• Some chargers for battery packs used in power hand tools. These affected
chargers display a warning label stating that dangerous voltages are present at
the battery terminals.
CAUTION: Equipment damage
Important: if you are unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with the
Freedom 10 Inverter/Charger, contact the equipment manufacturer to find out if there are
high voltages at the battery terminals or if the appliance incorporates the use of
transformers.
