as battery pack may rupture causing serious personal injury.
Consult the chart at the end of this manual for compatibility of
batteries and chargers.
• Charge the battery packs only in D
E
WALT chargers.
•
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). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to 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
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 fi res 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 fi re.
•
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, fl ush 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 fi re. 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.
