Craftsman 71321 Manual De Usuario

• 5 •

• Always charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not set the charger on flammable materials, such as carpeting, upholstery, 

paper, cardboard, etc. 

• Never smoke or allow sparks or flames in the vicinity of the battery or engine. 

• Operate the charger as far away from the battery as DC charger cables permit.
• Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
• NEVER charge a frozen battery. 
• NEVER overcharge a battery.
• NEVER set a battery on top of the charger.
• NEVER place the charger directly above a battery being charged. Gases from 

the battery will corrode and damage the charger.

• NEVER touch the battery clips together when the charger is energized.
• When disconnecting the battery charger, pull by the plug, not by the cord. Pulling 

on the cord may cause damage to the cord or plug.

• Do not operate the charger with damaged cord or plug. 
• NEVER allow battery acid to drip onto the charger. 

• Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-

acid batteries. Always have someone nearby for help.

• Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case 

battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash immediately with soap 

and water and seek medical attention.

• If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately for a 

minimum 10 minutes and get medical attention.

• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to 

clean up. 

• Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, 

necklaces and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high 

enough to weld a ring to metal, causing a severe burn.

• Do not drop a metal tool onto the battery. 
• If it is necessary to remove the battery from the vehicle to charge it, always 

remove the grounded terminal first.
