additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns. (This ad-
vice is considered correct for conventional NiMh,
NiCd, lead acid and lithium-ion cell types. If this ad-
vice is incorrect for a cell design that differs from
these, then the correct advice may be substituted.)

Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
7
Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temper-
ature above 130°C may cause explosion. The tem-
perature of 130°C can be replaced by the
temperature of 265°F.
8
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or appliance outside of the temper-
ature range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside of the speci-
fied range may damage the battery and increase the
risk of fire.

son using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
