Personal Precautions

1. Someone should be within range of your

voice or close enough to come to your

aid when you work near a lead-acid

battery.

2. Have plenty of fresh water and soap

nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,

clothing, or eyes.

3. Wear complete eye protection and

clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes

while working near battery.

4. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing,

wash immediately with soap and water.

If acid enters eye, immediately flood eye

WARNING: Risk of explosive

gases

Working in the vicinity of a lead-acid battery

is dangerous. Batteries generate explosive

gases during normal battery operation. For

this reason, it is of utmost importance that

each time before using a battery charger, you

read this guide and follow the instructions

exactly.

To reduce risk of battery explosion, follow

these instructions and those published by

battery manufacturer and manufacturer of

any equipment you intend to use in the

vicinity of the battery. Review cautionary

marking on these products and on any

engine.

with running cold water for at least 10

minutes and get medical attention

immediately.

5. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame

in the vicinity of battery or engine.

6. Be extra cautious to reduce risk of

dropping a metal tool onto a battery. It

might spark or short-circuit the battery

or other electrical part that may cause an

explosion.

7. Remove personal metal items such as

rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches

when working with a lead-acid battery.

A lead-acid battery can produce a short-

circuit current high enough to weld a

ring or the like to metal, causing a severe

burn.

8. Use XPower Charger 2 for charging a

LEAD-ACID battery only. It is only

intended to charge lead-acid batteries or

batteries, such as those used in specific

integrated products. Do not use XPower

Charger 2 for charging dry-cell batteries

that are commonly used with home

appliances. These batteries may burst

and cause injury to persons and damage

to property.

9. NEVER charge a frozen battery.
