exceed 40 ˚C (104 ˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal
buildings in summer).
• 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.
WARNING: 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 centre for recycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or
falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be
easily knocked over.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals
inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials. When transporting batteries, make sure that

the battery terminals are protected and well insulated
from materials that could contact them and cause a
short circuit. NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be
put in checked baggage.
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable shipping
e
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards
which include UN Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods; International Air Transport
Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous
Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement
Concerning The International Carriage of Dangerous
Goods by Road (ADR). Lithium-ion cells and batteries
have been tested to section 38.3 of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In most instances, shipping a D
be excepted from being classified as a fully regulated
Class 9 Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments
containing a lithium-ion battery with an energy rating
greater than 100 Watt Hours (Wh) will require being
shipped as fully regulated Class 9. All lithium-ion
batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on the pack.
Furthermore, due to regulation complexities, D
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery
packs alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of
tools with batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as
excepted if the Watt Hour rating of the battery pack is
no greater than 100 Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered
excepted or fully regulated, it is the shipper's
responsibility to consult the latest regulations for
packaging, labeling/marking and documentation
requirements.
