Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
Never charge a frozen battery. If battery acid becomes frozen,
bring battery to a warm area and allow it to thaw before you begin
charging.
Never touch the battery clamps together when the charger is on.
This may cause a spark.
Never operate a charger if it has received a hard blow, been
dropped or otherwise damaged. Take it to a qualified professional

Never pull out the plug by the cord when unplugging the charger as
this may cause damage to the cord or plug.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Make sure that someone is within range of your voice to come to
your aid if needed while you work with or are near a lead-acid
battery.
Wear complete eye and clothing protection when working with lead-
acid batteries.
Avoid touching your eyes while working with a battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use in case battery
acid contacts your eyes, skin or clothing. If this happens, wash
immediately with soap and water then get medical attention.
Never smoke or allow an open spark or flame in the vicinity of the
battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive gases.
Take care not to drop any metal tool or object onto the battery. This
may result in a spark or short circuit across the battery or another
electrical device that may cause an explosion.
Remove all personal metal items, such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and watches from your body while working with a lead-
acid battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high
enough to weld such objects to metal, causing a severe burn.
Never attempt to charge a frozen battery.
Never overcharge a battery.
Always operate the battery charger in an open, well-ventilated area.
