Electrocution
The electric system does not involve electrocution however in case of
short circuit, some risk of burn may arise. In such case:
1. Turn away the tool causing the short circuit using suitably thermally
insulated means.
2. Turn off the mains, if available.
Injures or fractures
Seek for immediate medical help.
1. In case of strong bleeding, press the wound until first aid arrives.
2. In case of fractures, do not move the part of the body involved and
transfer the patient very carefully, and only if extremely necessary.
Skin burns
This may result from contact with acid substances.
This usually happens when liquid flows out of the battery. In such case:
1. Remove any soaked clothing.
2. Wash throughly with water only the parts involved.
In case of eye contact with battery acid or lubricant or diesel oil: wash
the eye with water for at least 20 minutes keeping your eyelids wide
shut to that water flows over the ocular bulb (move the eye to every
direction for better washing).
