1-2. Precautions When Working With Batteries
1-2-1. 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 20 minutes and seek immediate medical care.
1-2-2. Never smoke, allow a spark, or a flame in the vicinity of a battery or
engine.
1-2-3. Do not drop a metal tool on the battery. The resulting spark or
short-circuit on the battery or other electrical part may cause an
explosion.
1-2-4. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces,
and watches when working with a lead-acid battery.
A lead-acid battery produces a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe burn.
