DANGER Batteries give off explosive gases. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery. Do not smoke
close to the battery. Make sure there is good ventilation in closed areas where batteries are being used
or charged. Do not check the battery charge by shorting the terminals with metal. Use a hydrometer or
voltmeter.
WARNING Do not connect the charger when the batteries are not connected. Doing so could result in
danger of live terminals from the charger.

batteries are disconnected/removed from the machine. There is a risk of serious electrical shock.
Always disconnect all external power supplies to the machine before carrying out maintenance.
WARNING Battery electrolyte is toxic and corrosive. Do not breathe the gases given off by the battery. Keep
the electrolyte away from your clothes, skin, mouth and eyes. Wear safety glasses.
