DANGER! BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION. FOR THIS
REASON, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE
BATTERY TESTER.
Follow these instructions and those published by the battery and vehicle manufacturers, and the maker of any equipment you intend to use
in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on engines.
1.1. personal preCaUtions
ensure there is another person within hearing range of your voice and close enough to come to your aid, should a problem arise when
9
working near a lead-acid battery.
Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.
9
Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.
9
Wash immediately with soap and water if battery acid contacts skin or clothing. if acid enters eye, flush eye immediately with cool, clean
9
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
9
which is high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, which would cause severe burns.
ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain long
9
hair.
do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of battery or engine.

ensure the tester load switch is 'off' before attaching/detaching the power clamps to/from the battery terminals.
9
Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.
