2. PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2.1 Wear complete eye protection and protective clothing when working near lead-acid batteries. Always have someone nearby for help.
Have plenty of fresh water, soap and baking soda nearby for use, in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash immediately with soap and water and
2.2
seek medical attention.
If battery acid comes in contact with eyes, flush eyes immediately and get medical attention.
2.3
Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking soda before attempting to clean up.
2.4
Remove all personal metal items from your body, such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring
2.5
to metal, causing a severe burn.
Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or engine.
2.6
2.7 This product contains a lithium ion battery. In case of fire, you may use water, a foam extinguisher, Halon, CO
or soda (sodium carbonate) to extinguish the fire. Once the fire is extinguished, douse the product with water, an aqueous-based extinguishing agent, or other nonalcoholic
liquids to cool the product and prevent the battery from re-igniting. NEVER attempt to pick up or move a hot, smoking, or burning product, as you may be injured.
