• Wear complete eye and clothing protection when
working with lead-acid batteries.
• Be sure that someone iswithin range of your voice
to come to your aid if needed while you work with or
are near a lead-acid battery.
• Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby for use
in case battery acid contacts your eyes, skin, or cloth-
ing. If this happens, wash immediately with soap and
water. Then get medical attention.
• Avoid touching your eyes while working with a
battery. Acid particles (corrosion) may get into your
eyes. If this occurs, flush eyes immediately with
running cold water for at least 10 minutes. Then
immediately get medical attention,
• Remove all personal metal Items from your body,
such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
while working with a lead-acid battery. A battery can
produce a short circuit current high enough to weld
a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.
•Take care not to drop any metal tool or metal object
onto the battery. This may spark or short circuit the
battery or another electrical device that may cause
an explosion.
•Always operate your battery charger in an open, well
ventilated area.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity
of the battery or engine. Batteries generate explosive
gases.
• Neutralize any acid spills thoroughly with baking
soda before attempting to clean up,
