Safety Measures

The respective accident prevention regulations established by the
professional associations are to be strictly enforced at all times
Measurements in dangerous proximity of electrical installations are only to
be executed when instructed by a responsible electrical specialist, and never
alone.
Never try to disassemble battery cells !The battery contains highly alkaline
electrolyte. Danger of causticization ! If electrolyte gets in contact with skin
or clothing, rinse immediately with water. If electrolyte gets in contact with
the eyes, immediately flush by using pure water and consult a doctor.
Never try to short-circuit both battery cell poles by using, e.g. a wire. The
resulting short-circuit current is very high and causes extreme heat. Danger
of fire or explosion.
Never throw battery cells into a fire as this could cause an explosion.
When replacing or changing the battery, make certain of correct polarity.
