Silverline Jump Starter Air Compressor & Inverter - Manual (Page 6)

Jump Starter Safety
• Do not allow positive and negative lead clamps to make contact. Live
clamps which come into contact with each other could result in the leads
melting, and/or create a fire hazard
• Do not attempt to jump start any vehicle whose battery is leaking,
cracked, or otherwise damaged
• Do not attempt to jump start a vehicle with a frozen battery. Exercise
caution when bringing such a battery into a building as there is a
possibility the battery could leak when it returns to normal temperature
• Unless the battery in the vehicle is of the 'maintenance-free' type, always
check that the electrolyte level is correct before attempting to jump start
the vehicle
• Lead-acid batteries emit explosive, flammable gases, particularly during
attempts at starting a vehicle, DO NOT SMOKE and do not expose the
jump starter or vehicle’s battery to any open flames or high temperature
surfaces. The lead acid battery in a vehicle is the primary concern for
flammable gas, but there is still a small risk with the VRLA battery fitted
in the jump starter during jump starting, or being over-charged
• Always wear protective gloves and goggles when handling lead acid
batteries
• Always remove all metal jewellery before handling lead acid batteries
• Be aware that loose clothing and long hair could get caught in moving
engine parts. When using this product, tie up hair and secure loose
clothing
• Wash thoroughly with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or
clothing. If battery acid contacts eyes, wash thoroughly with clean water
and seek medical help
• Only use this jump starter in completely dry conditions
Unpacking Your Jump Starter
• If any parts are damaged / missing, have these parts repaired / replaced
before use
• Fit the supplied fuses to the Front Fuse Slot (10) and Rear Fuse Socket
(16). The front fuse protects the circuits that power the lights, 12V
sockets and compressor. The rear fuse protects the circuit that powers
the inverter

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained
