Battery and charger safety instructions
a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been
damaged in any way (e.g. pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on, etc.).
• Do not disassemble – incorrect reassembly may pose a
serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals.
• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. If
a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use
rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin
is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with
soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are
exposed to battery chemicals, immediately flush with
water for 20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove
and dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – a battery pack will short circuit if a
metal object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place
a battery pack near anything that may cause a short
circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and
other metallic objects. A short circuited battery pack
poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 40 。 C, such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
