Specific Safety Instructions For Lithium Ion (Li-Ion); Battery Pack; Storage Recommendations - Stanley SCH12S2K Original Instructions Manual

• Never force battery pack into charger. Do not modify
battery pack in any way to fit into a non-compatible
charger as battery pack may rupture causing serious
personal injury.
• Charge the battery packs only in STANLEY 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 40 ˚C (105
˚F) (such as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
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.
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.
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 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.
Transportation
STANLEY batteries comply with all applicable 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
(Original instructions)
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
STANLEY battery pack 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 STANLEY lithium-ion 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
lithiumion 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.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time

or implied, is given. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure
that its activities comply with the applicable regulations.

Battery pack

Battery type
The SCH12 operates on a 10.8V battery pack

Storage recommendations

1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not in use.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully
charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the
charger for optimal results.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be
recharged before use.
