DeWalt DCS370 Manual De Instrucciones página 6

• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in locations
where the temperature may reach or exceed 105°F (40°C)
(such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
_DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
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 (i.e.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery
packs should be returned to a 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.
A WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry
battery so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in
aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with
loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. 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 U.S. Department
of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e.,
packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly
protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual
batteries, 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 NICKEL CADMIUM
(NiCd) OR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)
• 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.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken:
a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with
soap and water for several minutes.
b. and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-lon)
• 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.
A WARNING: Bum hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
