Safety instructions regarding the battery
Injury hazard due to malfunctioning batteries!
Batteries give off explosive gases that can cause deflagrations if ignited,
and therefore injury or death.
► Do not smoke, avoid fire and open flames.
► Do not place any tools on the battery.
► Wear protective clothes.
Accident hazard due to sparks during jump-starting!
Can cause serious injury.
► Use only 12 V power sources. Higher voltages will damage the
electrical components.
► When connecting the battery leads, ensure that the poles +/− are not
inverted, otherwise sensitive electrical components will be damaged.
► Do not interrupt electrical circuits at the battery terminals.
► Do not place tools or other conductive articles on the battery – risk of
short circuit.
Injury hazard due to battery acid!
Battery acid can cause serious burns in case of skin contact.
► Avoid contact of the battery acid with the skin, eyes and mouth.
► In case of contact with battery acid, immediately rinse the affected
parts of the body with plenty of clear water and seek medical attention.
► Wear protective clothes.
