working near batteries. In case
of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.

drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,

KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTER-
IES OUT OF THE REACH OF
