DeWalt DXAEC2CA Instruction Manual page 7

• When working with lead acid batteries, always make sure someone
is close enough to provide immediate assistance in case of accident
or emergency.
• Always have protective eyewear when using this product: contact with
battery acid may cause blindness and/or severe burns. Be aware of
first aid procedures in case of accidental contact with battery acid.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid
contacts skin.
• If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with
soap and water for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity of vehicle battery,
engine or battery charger.
• Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and
watches when working with a lead acid battery. A lead acid battery
can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring, or
similar metal object, to skin causing a severe burn.
• Skin: if battery acid comes in contact with skin, rinse immediately
with water, then wash thoroughly with soap and water. If redness,
pain, or irritation occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
• Eyes: If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes
immediately, for a minimum of 15 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, follow these
