instructions and those published by the battery
manufacturer and manufacturer of any equipment
you intend to use in vicinity of battery. Review

12. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

a. Consider having someone close enough by to come
to your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
b. Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes. Be
aware of first aid procedures in case of accidental
contact with battery acid.
c. Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching the eyes while working
near a battery.
d. If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water
for at least 10 minutes and get medical attention
immediately.
e. NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity
of the battery or engine.

tool onto battery. It might spark or short circuit
battery or other electrical part that may cause
explosion.
g. 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 the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
h. Use battery maintainer for charging a LEAD-ACID
battery only. It is not intended to supply power to a
low voltage electrical system other than in a starter-
motor application. Do not use battery maintainer for
charging dry-cell batteries that are commonly used
with home appliances. These batteries may burst and
cause injury to persons and damage to property.
