7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES
AND CHARGERS
7.1 Batteries
ƒ
Never attempt to open for any reason.
ƒ
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
ƒ
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
ƒ
Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.
ƒ
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section
“Protecting the environment”.
ƒ
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic
objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing
heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.
ƒ
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating
separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in
electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation
causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire,
explosion and/or intense burning may result.
ƒ
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid
on the battery, proceed as follows:
Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
