Caution On Lithium-Ion Battery; Specifications - Hitachi WH 14DSAL Handling Instructions Manual

7. Always charge the battery at a temperature of 0 – 40°C.
A temperature of less than 0°C will result in over charging which is
dangerous. The battery cannot be charged at a temperature greater
than 40°C.
The most suitable temperature for charging is that of 20 – 25°C.
8. Do not use the charger continuously.
When one charging is completed, leave the charger for about 15
minutes before the next charging of battery.
9. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the
rechargeable battery.
10. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and charger.
11. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Short-circuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and
overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
12. Do not dispose of the battery in fire.
If the battery burnt, it may explode.
13. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger.
Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the charger air ventilation
slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.
14. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon
as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use.
Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.
15. Using an exhausted battery will damage the charger.

CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery equips with the protection
function to stop the output.
In the cases of 1 to 3 described below, when using this product, even if you
are pulling the switch, the motor may stop. This is not the trouble but the
result of protection function.
1. When the battery power remaining runs out, the motor stops.
In such case, charge it up immediately.
2. If the tool is overloaded, the motor may stop. In this case, release
the switch of tool and eliminate causes of overloading. After that, you
can use it again.
3. If the battery is overheated under overload work, the battery power
may stop.
In this case, stop using the battery and let the battery cool. After that,
you can use it again. (BSL1415X, BSL1430, BSL1815X, BSL1830)
Furthermore, please heed the following warning and caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat generation, smoke emission,
explosion and ignition beforehand, please be sure to heed the following
precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on the battery.
During work make sure that swarf and dust do not fall on the battery.

Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the power tool during work
do not collect on the battery.
Do not store an unused battery in a location exposed to swarf and dust.
Before storing a battery, remove any swarf and dust that may adhere to it
and do not store it together with metal parts (screws, nails, etc.).
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such as a nail, strike with
a hammer, step on, throw or subject the battery to severe physical
shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets or car cigarette lighter
sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than those specified.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even when a specified recharging
time has elapsed, immediately stop further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high temperatures or high pressure
such as into a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure container.
9. Keep away from fire immediately when leakage or foul odor are
detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static electricity generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat generated, discolored or
deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or
storage, immediately remove it from the equipment or battery charger,
and stop use.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your eyes, do not rub your
eyes and wash them well with fresh clean water such as tap water
and contact a doctor immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash well with clean water
such as tap water immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin irritation.
3. If you find rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor, deformation, and/or
other irregularities when using the battery for the first time, do not
use and return it to your supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If an electrically conductive foreign object enters the terminals of the lithium ion
battery, a short-circuit may occur resulting in the risk of fire. Please observe the
following matters when storing the battery.
Do not place electrically conductive cuttings, nails, steel wire, copper
wire or other wire in the storage case.
Either install the battery in the power tool or store by securely pressing
into the battery cover until the ventilation holes are concealed to
prevent short-circuits (See Fig. 1).
