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
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 US 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-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 persists, seek medical
attention.
WARNING:
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
