Risk of chemical burns!
▪
Batteries contain acid, which could damage the eyes and skin. Charging batter-
ies further generates gasses and vapours hazardous to the health.
▪
avoid any contact with caustic battery acid. immediately thoroughly flush skin
and any objects which have come into contact with acid. if eyes have come
into contact with battery acid, flush eyes with running water at least 5 minutes.
Contact your physician.
▪
Use safety goggles and acid-proof safety gloves. protect clothing, e.g. with an
apron.
▪
Never tip the battery, as acid may leak.
▪
always ensure adequate ventilation.
▪
do not inhale emerging gasses and vapours.
▪
gaseous hydrogen (detonating gas) may form when charging the battery. Con-
tact with open fire (flame, embers, sparks) may result in explosions.
▪
Never charge the battery close to an open fire or in places where sparks may
occur.
▪
always ensure sufficient ventilation.
▪
Be sure the supply voltage matches the input voltage specified on the device (220
- 240 V aC) to prevent damage to the device.
▪
only connect and disconnect the battery connecting cables when the charger is
disconnected from the mains.
▪
do not cover the device whilst charging, as it may be damaged from extreme
heating.
▪
immediately stop using the device if you notice smoke or an unusual odour.
▪
do not use the device in rooms where explosive or flammable substances are
stored (e.g. petrol or solvents).
