Storage Recommendations; Labels On Charger And Battery Pack - DeWalt DCS391 Original Instructions Manual

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 the area with
mild soap and water. If the 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.
Transportation
D WALT batteries comply with all applicable
E
shipping 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
will be excepted from being classified as a fully
regulated Class 9 Hazardous material. In general,
the two instances that require shipping Class 9 are:
1. Air shipping more than two D
battery packs when the package contains only
battery packs (no tools), and
2. Any shipment containing a lithium-ion battery
with an energy rating greater than 100 watt
hours (Wh). All lithium-ion batteries have the
watt hour rating marked on the pack.
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.
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.
