Attention!
Aquagen recombination systems must not be disposed of as domestic waste.
1.3 Personal Protective Equipment, Safety Clothing, Equipment
When handling lead acid batteries, at least the following equipment must be available,
Whereas the list is not intended to be exhaustive:
- Insulated tools
- Suitable protective gloves
- Safety goggles
- Safety boots
- Fire extinguishers
- Emergency eyewash (recommended).
Danger!
To prevent electrostatic charges when handling batteries, a surface resistivity of <10
8
ohm
and an insulation resistance of >10
5
ohm are required for textiles, safety boots and gloves (see
DIN EN50272-2 and DIN EN ISO 20345:2011 personal protective equipment – safety boots).
If possible, wear so-called ESD shoes.
Danger!
When working with batteries, take off watches, rings, necklaces, jewellery and other metal
items.
Never smoke, handle open flames or generate sparks in the direct vicinity of batteries.
Never deposit tools or metal parts on batteries!
In case of an accident, the use of proper tools and correct protective equipment can prevent injuries or soften
the consequences of injuries.
