• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service
center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in
gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Certain components in these tools
normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use
only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
• EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY BOOSTER MODEL BB7B-CA.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• Follow these instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment you intend to use with
this unit. Review cautionary markings on these products and on engine.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: This product or its power cord contains lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defect or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING: BURST HAZARD: Do not use the unit for charging dry-cell
batteries that are commonly used with home appliances. These batteries
may burst and cause injury to persons and damage property. Use the unit
for charging/boosting a LEAD-ACID battery only. It is not intended to
supply power to a low-voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application.
WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD:
• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If
extension cord must be used, make sure that:
a) the pins of extension cord are the same number, size and shape as those
in the battery booster,
b) the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition,
c) the wire size is large enough for the AC rating of the charger as indicated
in the table above.
• Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug; or if the unit has received
a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Do not
disassemble the unit; take it to a qualified service technician when service
or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire, and will void warranty.
43
• Use of an attachment not supplied, recommended or sold by manufacturer
specifically for use with this unit may result in a risk of electrical shock and
injury to persons.
• NEVER submerge this unit in water; do not expose it to rain, snow or use
when wet.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, disconnect the unit from any power
source before attempting maintenance or cleaning. Turning off controls
without disconnecting will not reduce this risk.
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 the utmost importance that each time before using the battery
booster you read this manual and follow instructions exactly.
• To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow these instructions and
those published by the battery manufacturer and manufacturer of any
equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Review
cautionary markings on these products and on the engine.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, THIS UNIT SHOULD
ONLY BE OPERATED BY ADULTS; IT IS NOT FOR USE BY CHILDREN.

Charging Adapter from the unit and when disconnecting the Simple Start ™
from the vehicle’s 12 Volt DC accessory outlet.
• NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUMP-START OR CHARGE A FROZEN BATTERY.
• When using this unit to boost/start a vehicle, use only the built-in 12 Volt
DC Vehicle Adapter. The 12 Volt DC Outlet is strictly for use as an
accessory outlet.
• To recharge this unit, use only the supplied AC Charging Adapter or the
built-in 12 Volt DC Adapter Plug.
• Vehicles that have on-board computerized systems may be damaged if
vehicle battery is jump-started. Before jump-starting, read the vehicle’s
owner’s manual to confirm that external-starting assistance is suitable.
• Never insert a vehicle cigarette lighter into the unit’s 12 Volt DC
Accessory Outlet.
• 12 volts are present on the 12 volt plug end when the receptacle door is
open. To avoid damage of the product, store the plug in the compartment
after use.
• When storing the unit, turn the unit off and store the 12 Volt Plug in
the compartment.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and
water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.

USING THE SIMPLE START IN BOOST MODE
Make sure the unit is sufficiently charged before attempting to use this
feature (see the “Charging/Recharging” section on page 8).
1. Turn off headlights, cabin light, radio and all other vehicle accessories
before using the SimpleStart ™ in boost mode.
2. Turn the unit ON by pressing the ON/OFF Power Push button. The unit
will beep once and the red Power LED Indicator and Battery Status LED
Indicator will light to indicate it is functioning.
3. Remove the 12 Volt DC Vehicle Charging Cord from its storage
compartment and plug it into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
4. Press the Vehicle Boost Push button. If properly connected, the unit will
beep once again and the Vehicle Boost LED Indicator will
flash green,
indicating the vehicle battery is
being charged/boosted. If the unit beeps
continuously, recheck plug connection. If plug is properly connected and
the unit still beeps continuously, your vehicle's ignition key may need to be
in the accessory (ACC) position to activate the 12 Volt DC outlet. If so turn
the unit off, turn the ignition key to the accessory position, turn the unit
back on and press the Vehicle Boost Push button.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery,
engine or battery booster.
• 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 of a
metal, causing a severe burn.
• Read and understand this instruction manual before using this unit.
