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, please read these instructions
very carefully.

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.

Do not expose the tester to rain or snow.

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
■
your aid when you work near a lead acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
■
clothing or eyes.
Wear safety glasses and protective clothing.
■
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and wa-
■
ter. If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least
ten minutes and get medical attention immediately.
