never wear clothes made of synthetic materials when
charging the battery.
DANGER! Explosive gases - avoid flames and sparks.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
connecting and disconnecting the battery.
The charger contains components such as the switch
and fuse that may cause arcing and sparking. Mark
sure the garage or room is well ventilated!
The charger is designed only for 6V/12V/24V lead-acid
batteries.
Never use to appliance to charge „non-rechargeable
batteries" or defective batteries.
Note the instructions published by the battery
manufacturer.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
connecting and disconnecting the battery.
Danger! Avoid flames and sparks. Explosive electrolytic
gas is released during charging.
Protect from rain, splashing water and damp
conditions.
Do not place the charger on a heated surface.
Keep the ventilation slots free of dirt.
Caution! Battery acid is corrosive.
If any acid is splashed on your skin or clothes, wash
off immediately with suds. If acid is splashed in your

minutes) and consult a doctor.
Never charge non-chargeable batteries.
Note the data and instructions published by the vehicle
manufacturer concerning the charging of batteries.
Do not charge several batteries simultaneously.
Do not short-circuit the charging clamps.
The power supply cable and the charging leads have to
be in perfect condition.
Keep children away from the battery and the charger.
Danger! An acute risk of explosion exists if there is a
pungent smell of gas. Do not switch off the
8
application. Do not disconnect the charging clamps.
Ventilate the room immediately and thoroughly.
Have the battery inspected by a customer service
workshop.
Never use the cable for any purpose other than its
intended purpose.
Do not carry the appliance by its cable and never pull
on the cable to remove the plug from the socket-outlet.
Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Examine your appliance for signs of damage.
Have defective or damaged parts repaired or replaced
by a customer service workshop unless otherwise
stated in these operating instructions.
If the fuse along side the charging current indicator
becomes defective, replace it with a fuse of identical
amperage.
Observe the mains voltage (230V ( 50Hz).
Keep the terminals clean and protect them from
corrosion.
In periods of non-use the battery should be recharged
once every 4 weeks.
This charger is not suitable for maintenance-free
batteries.
Always disconnect the appliance from the power

Disposal
Batteries: Dispose of unwanted batteries only via
automotive workshops, special battery collection
stations or special waste collection centres. Ask your
local authorities for details.
Dear Customer,
The starting aid function of this charger provides welcome
assistance if ever you have trouble starting your car
because of a poorly charged battery. We wish to point out,
however, that even the standard models of cars are
equipped these days with numerous electronic components
(e.g. ABS, ASR, injection pumps, on-board computers and
car phones). The high starting voltage and peak voltages
which accompany the starting operation may cause defects
to arise in these electronic components.
Our product liability does not cover any damage resulting
from the use of the starting aid function. Normally a 10-
minute charge is enough to start a vehicle without using the
starting aid facility.
Please heed these instructions!
