Battery acid is caustic. Wear acid-
resistant protective gloves.

should be neutralised immediately
using soapy water or acid neutral-
iser and then rinsed with water.

splash into your eyes. Rinse out any
acid that splashes into eyes imme-
diately using clean water and seek
medical attention at once.
Keep out of the reach of children.

tions, protective measures and pro-
