General Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) Electrical safety
a) Mains plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) devices. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a device will increase
the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a device. Do not use while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

4) Service
a) Have your device serviced by a qualified repair person using only

maintained.
Jump Starter Safety
