Stihl MSA 160 C Instruction Manual page 55

Never contact (short circuit) the
–
battery contacts with metal objects.
Short-circuiting can damage the
battery. Keep unused batteries
away from metal objects (e. g.,
nails, coins, jewelry). Do not use
metallic transport containers.
In the event of damage or improper
–
use, fluid may leak from the battery
– avoid skin contact! Leaking
battery fluid can cause skin
irritation, burns and chemical burns.
In case of accidental contact, wash
the affected areas of skin with plenty
of water and soap. If fluid comes
into contact with the eyes, do not
rub and flush the eyes with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. In
addition, seek medical attention.
