Safety Precaution
s for Working with Components Containing BeO
The following prec
autions must be observed when working with components
containing BeO:
Do not carry loose c omponents in pockets, bags, or containers, or tamper
with them in any way that could cause breakage or disintegration.
Do not apply excessive heat during soldering.
Do not break open components for inspection.
Store components in their original packaging and do not mix them with
other components.
Ensure that components do not become mechanically damaged.
Use care when replacing defective components.
Do not blow on exposed surfaces due to the danger of BeO dust.
In case of accident, or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately
and show the label where possible.
2.11.2 Battery Acid Hazard
This section provides information on chemical hazards related to lead-acid
batteries.
Caution!
Excessive heat can cause battery casing to soften and warp, potentially allowing
acid to escape. In contact with the skin, acid can cause injury, and if breathed
in, can affect the airways. Use protective equipment when replacing batteries.
Caution!
Batteries can leak electrolyte if improperly handled. Electrolyte in contact
with skin or eyes can cause i njury. In the event of electrolyte injuries, rinse
the affected area with water and seek medical attention immediately. Use
protective equipment when replacing batteries.
