Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or
reduced in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical
impact or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can
escape in case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irrita-
tions or burns.
In case of skin contact with battery fluid, rinse imme-
diately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact
with battery fluid, wash out the eye with clean water
and immediately seek a doctor for treatment!
When the battery fluid has come into contact with
objects close by, check the respective components.
Avoid skin contact by wearing protective gloves. Clean
the parts with dry household paper or replace the
parts if necessary. Escaping vapours can irritate the
respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause skin irritations or burns.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Keep the battery not
being used away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
The battery can be damaged by sharp objects such as
nails or screwdrivers or by external force. An internal
short-circuit may occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
Never maintain damaged batteries. Any maintenance
of batteries should be performed only by the manufac-
turer or by authorised after-sales service centers.
