Protect your eyes
CAUTION!
Wear safety glasses.
Always wear safety glasses if there is a risk of
splintering, sparks and spray from the electrolyte (so-
called battery acid), or other chemicals. Your eyes are
very delicate and damage can result in loss of sight!
Protect your skin
CAUTION!
Risk of skin damage.
Avoid getting oil on your skin! Prolonged or repeated
exposure to oil can dry out the skin. Thereafter,
irritation, dryness and eczema and other skin problems
may occur.
Use protective gloves and avoid oil-soaked clothes
and rags. Wash regularly, especially before eating.
Wear suitable protective creams to prevent skin from
drying out and to facilitate cleaning.
Fire safety
WARNING!
Fire and Explosion Risk!
Accidental spark could ignite fuel vapors.
All fuels – as well as many lubricants and chemicals –
are flammable. Do not allow open flames or sparks
near them. Smoking forbidden! Hydrogen from the
batteries is also very flammable and explosive in
certain mixture with air.
Ensure that the workplace is well ventilated and take
the necessary precautions before welding or grinding
begins. Always ensure that there is a fire extinguisher
close at hand in the work area.
