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.

• 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

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
