Preparing To Use The Unit; Follow These Steps When Connecting To A Battery - Craftsman CMXCESM14143 Instruction Manual

ENGLISH
2.8 Wear complete eye and body protection, including safety goggles and
protective clothing. Avoid touching your eyes while working near the
battery.
2.9 If battery acid contacts your skin or clothing, immediately wash
the area with soap and water. If acid enters your eye, immediately
flood the eye with cold running water for at least 10 minutes and get
medical attention right away.
2.10 If battery acid is accidentally swallowed, drink milk, the whites of eggs
or water. DO NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.
2.11 Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting
to clean up.
2.12 This product contains a lithium ion battery. In case of fire, you
may use water, a foam extinguisher, Halon, CO
powdered graphite, copper powder or soda (sodium carbonate)
to extinguish the fire. Once the fire is extinguished, douse the
product with water, an aqueous-based extinguishing agent, or other
nonalcoholic liquids to cool the product and prevent the battery from
re-igniting. NEVER attempt to pick up or move a hot, smoking, or
burning product, as you may be injured.

3. PREPARING TO USE THE UNIT

WARNING: RISK OF CONTACT WITH BATTERY ACID.
BATTERY ACID IS A HIGHLY CORROSIVE SULFURIC ACID.
3.1 Make sure the area around the battery is well ventilated while the unit
is in use.
3.2 Clean the battery terminals before using the jump starter. During
cleaning, keep airborne corrosion from coming into contact with your
eyes, nose and mouth. Use baking soda and water to neutralize the
battery acid and help eliminate airborne corrosion. Do not touch your
eyes, nose or mouth.
3.3 Determine the voltage of the battery by referring to the vehicle
owner's manual and make sure that the output voltage is 12V.
3.4 Make sure that the unit's cable clamps make tight connections.

4. FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN CONNECTING TO A BATTERY

WARNING: A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE A
BATTERY EXPLOSION. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A SPARK
NEAR THE BATTERY:
4.1 Plug the clamps into the unit, and then attach the output cables to
the battery and chassis as indicated below. Never allow the output
clamps to touch each other.
4.2 Position the DC cables to reduce the risk of damage by the hood, door
and moving or hot engine parts. NOTE: If it is necessary to close the hood
during the jump starting process, ensure that the hood does not touch the
metal part of the battery clips or cut the insulation of the cables.
