may spark or short-circuit the battery or other electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
7) Remove all personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches
when working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-
circuit current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal, causing a severe
burn.
