parts.
171)Remove any metal objects (e.g.
rings, watches, bracelets), that might
cause an accidental electrical contact and
cause serious injury.
172)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
80)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery.
The following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
