battery indicates S-B Power
Tool Company is voluntarily
participating in an industry
program to collect and recycle these
batteries at the end of their useful life, when
taken out of service in the United States or
Canada. The RBRC program provides a
convenient alterative to placing used Ni-Cd
batteries into the trash or the municipal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your
area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information
on Ni-Cd battery recycling and disposal
bans/restrictions in your area, or return your

WARNING
Battery Disposal
-5-
below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C).
Store tool and battery pack in locations
where temperatures do not go below 40
degrees F (4 degrees C) or will no exceed
120 degrees F (49 degrees C). Allow
battery pack to return to room
temperature before attempting to
charge.
This is important to prevent serious
damage to the battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme
usage or temperature conditions. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes.
The battery
liquid is caustic and could cause chemical
burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact
with skin, wash quickly with soap and water,
then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid
contacts your eyes, flush them with water for
a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical
attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable
surfaces and away from flammable
materials when re-charging battery pack.
The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat
insulating surfaces block proper air
circulation which may cause overheating of
the charger and battery pack. If smoke or
melting of the case are observed unplug the
charger immediately and do not use the
battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recom-
mended or sold by Skil may result in a
risk of fire, electric shock or injury to
persons.
