Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
⚠WARNING
This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the jumpstarter in confined work
areas may put you dangerously close to cutting and rotating parts.
Do not use the jumpstarter where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite
the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the jumpstarter. Do not
allow children to handle the jump starter.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
Risk of explosive gases. Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries
generate explosive gases during normal battery operation. Do not smoke, use matches, or a
cigarette lighter while near batteries. Do not handle the battery while wearing vinyl clothing. The
static discharge from vinyl clothing rubbing together may ignite explosive gases, causing injury
and/or property damage.

not use the jumpstarter while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the jumpstarter may result in serious personal injury.

Page 6 of 16
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the jumpstarter often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Ensure the power switch is off prior to plugging in the jump starter.
⚠WARNING
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power jumpstarters to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power jumpstarter
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the jumpstarters or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged power cords immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
⚠CAUTION
