WARNING: Batteries present a risk of electrical shock and high short cir-
cuit current. Remove watches, rings, necklaces, jewelry and
any other other conductive items which might accidently short
circuit a battery. Use gloves and tools with insulated handles
such as those in the power safety tool kit (22-00518-02).
WARNING: Batteries are sealed and gas or liquid emission is unlikely. If
batteries should rupture, however, leaking electrolyte may be
exposed and if the rupture is due to operational failure, highly
dangerous and corrosive mist or fumes may also be expelled.
If electrolyte is exposed because of battery case damage, re-
move all power from the local area, mask or insulate the ter-
minals of the undamaged batteries, remove the damaged bat-
tery or batteries, and clean the immediate area. If, however,
there is any possibility of mist or fumes having been expelled,
evacuate all personnel immediately, shut down the power to
