Safe device use
a)
Do not overload the device. Use appropriate tools for the given task. A correctly selected device will
perform the task for which it was designed better and in a safer manner.
b)
Do not use the device if the ON/OFF switch does not function properly (does not switch the device on
and off). Devices which cannot be switched on and off using the ON/OFF switch are hazardous, should
not be operated and have to be repaired.
c)
Make sure the plug is disconnected from the socket before attempting any adjustments, tool
replacements or before putting the device aside. Such precautions will reduce the risk of accidentally
activating the device.
d)
When not in use, store in a safe place, away from children and people not familiar with the device,
who have not read the user manual. The device may pose a hazard in the hands of inexperienced
users.
e)
Maintain the device in a good technical state. Before each use check for general damage and
especially check for cracked parts or elements and for any other conditions which may impact the safe
operation of the device. If damage is discovered, hand over the device for repair before use.
f)
Keep the device out of the reach of children.
g)
Device repair or maintenance should be carried out by qualified persons, only using original spare
parts. This will ensure safe use.
h)
To ensure the operational integrity of the device, do not remove factory fitted guards and do not
loosen any screws.
i)
Do not charge disposable batteries!
j)
Do not charge faulty or damaged batteries.
k)
Do not charge a frozen battery.
l)
Protect the device against the elements, especially rainfall. Use the device in well ventilated premises
only.
m) Make sure the battery charger is disconnected from a power source when connecting leads to a
battery.
n)
Never place a battery right under or on top of the battery charger. Place the battery charger as far
away from the battery as possible. The battery charger may be a source of sparks or generate an
electric arc.
o)
When charging batteries emit gasses which might be explosive. Avoid contact with sparks and fire.
p)
Do not use the device in potentially explosive areas.
q)
Never place the battery charger under the bonnet.
r)
Models with wheels should be stored upright.
s)
ATTENTION: always make sure the car and battery manufacturers permit the use of a battery
charger jump start function to start the engine!
ATTENTION! Despite the safe design of the device and its protective features, and despite the use
of additional elements protecting the operator, there is still a slight risk of accident or injury when
using the device. Stay alert and use common sense when using the device.
