not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or damage the battery
pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp
blow, been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced
with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs
should be returned to the service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for
use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger.
Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product
kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery
terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The
US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations
(HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on
airplanes (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS
they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting
individual battery packs, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them
and cause a short circuit.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-Ion)
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium ion battery packs are burned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If battery
liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye for 15
minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is needed,
the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of liquid organic
carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
