1. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive gases
during normal battery operation. For this reason, it is of utmost importance, if you have any
doubt, that each time before using your tester, you read these instructions very carefully.
2. To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery.
Observe cautionary markings on these items.
3. Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1. Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid when you
work near a lead acid battery.
2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or
eyes.
3. Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least ten minutes and get medical
attention immediately.
5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of battery or engine.
6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto the battery. It could spark or
short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts and could cause an explosion.
7. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when working
with a lead acid battery. It can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the
like to metal causing a severe burn.
