GENERAL PRECAUTIONS WITH BATTERIES
1.- It is dangerous to operate near a lead acid battery. The batteries
can generate flammable gases during their operation. Never smoke or
allow it to produce a spark or flame near a battery. Allow adequate
ventilation around the battery.
2.- Wear protective clothing and safety glasses for the eyes. Avoid
touching your eyes working near the battery. Wash your hands once
you're done.
3.- If the battery acid comes into contact with skin or clothing, wash
the affected area immediately with soap and water. If the acid comes
into contact with eyes, wash immediately with cold water for at least 15
minutes and seek medical attention.
4.- Take caution when using metal tools near the battery. If a metal tool
falls on the battery may cause short-circuit the battery and possibly an
explosion.
5.- Remove any metal object personnel, including rings, bracelets,
necklaces or watches, when working with a battery. A battery can
produce a short circuit in the flow strong enough to melt a ring or other
object similar to the metal, causing acute burned.
