Safety Warnings For Batteries - Silvercrest 326698 Operation And Safety Notes

Safety warnings for batteries

When used correctly, cells and batteries provide a safe and
dependable source of portable power. However, if they are
misused or abused, this may result in leakage, burns, fire, or
explosion.
Store batteries in a dry place at room temperature. Batteries
are sensitive to high and low temperatures. Such thermal
exposure may lead to leakage, fire, or explosion.
Keep cells and batteries out of reach of children, especially
small batteries. Ingestion may lead to choking or acute and
serious personal injury.
Keep cells or batteries clean and dry both during use and
storage. Wipe metal terminals with a soft, dry cloth if they
become dirty.
Immediately seek medical attention if a cell or battery has
been swallowed. Also, contact your local poison control
center.
In the event that the electrolyte comes into contact with the
skin or eyes, immediately flush with fresh water for at least
15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Store unused batteries in their original packaging or in safe
place and away from metal objects that may short-circuit
them.
Exercise care in handling batteries in order to prevent
shorting with conducting materials, such as rings, coins,
bracelets, and keys. The battery or the conductor can
overheat and cause burns, leakage, fire, or explosion.
