spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical parts that may cause an explosion.
6. Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, watches and

gasoline fueled engines or gasoline tank, or in areas where ignition protected equipment

compartment with limited airflow; Overheating may result.
