BLINDNESS. SKIN: IRRITATION, BURNS. INHALATION: NOSE, THROAT AND
BRONCHIAL TUBES IRRITATION AND CHRONIC INFLAMMATION, DIFFICULTY IN
BREATHING. INGESTION : BURNS TO MOUTH, ESOPHAGUS AND STOMACH.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PERSONS WITH A HISTORY OF AILMENTS
OR WITH A PRE-EXISTING DISEASE INVOLVING THE EYES, SKIN OR
RESPIRATORY TRACT MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK FROM EXPOSURE.

First Aid:EYES: FLUSH WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER. GET MEDICAL
ATTENTION. SKIN: REMOVE CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH AREA WITH LARGE
AMOUNTS OF WATER. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH
AIR. IF NOT BREATHING GIVE CPR. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION. INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GIVE PATIENT LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER IF
CONSCIOUS. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.

Extinguishing Media:USE DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER. BATTERY CASE WILL
BURN.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE OF WATER IN EXTINGUISHING BURNING
BATTERIES MAY CAUSE SPATTERING DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MOLTEN LEAD.
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:AFTER ELECTROLYTE IS ADDED AND BATTERY IS
BEING CHARGED, HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED. BATTERY MAY EXPLODE IF
HYDROGEN GAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CASE SHOULD IGNITE.

Spill Release Procedures:SHOULD A BATTERY BREAK OPEN, ISOLATE AREA.
ELECTROLYTE SHOULD BE ABSORBED WITH A NON-ORGANIC TYPE ABSORBENT
SUCH AS DRY SAND OR EARTH. AVOID DILUTION WITH WATER. LEAD SPILLED
FROM THE BATTERY SHOULD B E VACUUMED, DO NOT SWEEP OR USE
COMPRESSED AIR.
Neutralizing Agent:USE SODA ASH OR BAKING SODA TO NEUTRALIZE THE
ELECTROLYTE.

Handling and Storage Precautions:AVOID THE USE OF UNINSULATED TOOLS. IF
THEY ARE REQUIRED, TAKE CARE NOT TO ELECTRICALLY SHORT THE
TERMINALS. REMOVE METAL JEWELRY BEFORE SERVICING.
Other Precautions:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, EXPOSURE TO LEAD OR
LEAD CONTAINING COMPOUNDS DOES NOT OCCUR. SHOULD A BATTERY BREAK
OPEN AND A LEAD SPILL OCCURS, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
PREVENT LEAD DUST FROM BECOMING AIR BORNE.

Respiratory Protection:UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS OF USE, RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION IS NOT REQUIRED. HOWEVER, IF CONDITIONS ARISE THAT
REQUIRE THEIR USE, USE ONLY NIOSH/MSHA RESPIRATORS APPROVED FOR
DUST, FUME AND MIST.
Ventilation:BATTERY CHARGING AREAS MUST BE ADEQUATELY VENTILATED TO
PREVENT HAZARDOUS CONCENTRATIONS OF FLAMMABLE GAS OR ACID MIST.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER GLOVES APPROVED FOR SULFURIC ACID
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL SPLASH GOGGLES AND FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION AND SAFETY SHOWER.
INDUSTRIAL-TYPE IMPERVIOUS WORK CLOTHING, BOOTS AND APRON AS
REQUIRED.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH AFTER HANDLING AND BEFORE EATING,
DRINKING, OR SMOKING. LAUNDER CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
