For battery acid
DANGER
Danger of explosion
– When charging batteries, an explosive gas
mixture can be generated which can still remain
present for a long period after completion of the
charging process. Ensure adequate ventilation.
– Within a 2 metre area of charged batteries,
smoking, fires and open flames are strictly
prohibited.
• Battery acid is poisonous. Always avoid
breathing in vapours.
• Battery acid is caustic. Take all necessary
precautions to prevent skin contact.
• Rinse off battery acid immediately using
plenty of clear water.
• When handling battery acid, wear personal
protective gear such as gloves and clothing
as well as facial protection.
• Should skin contact still take place, rinse
immediately using plenty of clear water and
consult a doctor.
• Comply with the additional operating
instructions supplied by the battery and
the battery charger manufacturer.
Risk assessment
According to the relevant CE Directives, the
operator of a business enterprise is required
to compile an Operating instruction document,
based on a risk assessment . The aim of the
analysis is to establish those hazards which
could arise from the product or the use of the
product in the particular environment at the
place of use and the conditions of use prevail-
ing there. We can help you to carry out the risk
assessment . The operating instruction docu-
ment should provide a warning of the hazards
thus established and point out possible reme-
dial measures.
We recommend that this Operating instruc-
tions booklet in your hands be incorporated in
the full-scale Operating instruction document.
