3) To reduce the electric shock hazard, unplug the battery charger from the mains before cleaning
the charger.
4) Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it on a heater.
Heat damages the battery and there is risk of explosion.
5) Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
6) Do not open up the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short circuit
and fumes may be emitted that irritate the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medical
assistance in the event of discomfort.
7) Do not use a non-rechargeable battery. This could damage the appliance.
8) The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is from
4ºC to 40ºC.
9) The recommended ambient temperature range for tool and battery storage is from 0ºC to 50ºC.
10) The recommended ambient temperature range for tool and battery use is from -5ºC to 50ºC.
11) Remove the battery from the device before storage.
12) Electrolyte leaking from the cells can cause damage to the skin, clothes or any other items
exposed to it. If the electrolyte contacts the skin or clothes, wash thoroughly with clean water. If
the electrolyte enters into the eyes, do not rub the eyes but flush them immediately with copious
amounts of clean water such as tap water, and immediately consult a doctor.
13) Do not disassemble or modify the battery, which can cause short-circuiting between cells or
between the cell and its wiring, and disables the battery's safety protection system. These can
lead to electrolyte leakage, overheating or a cell or battery, bursting and fire.
14) Avoid casual or inadvertent shorting of a battery with metallic objects such as: wire, tools,
neckless or hairpins, which can cause short-circuiting, which cause excess current flow,
electrolyte leakage, heating of cells or batteries, bursting and fire.
15) Keep battery away from a fire or heat. The insulation materials will melt and the gas release
vent and protection system will be damaged, causing electrolyte leakage, bursting and possibly
fire.
16) Not allow the battery to make contact with water or get wet, it may short-circuit, overheat, rust or
lose its functions.
17) Do not expose the battery to mechanical shock, for example, by dropping, throwing or crushing,
causing electrolyte leakage, cell and battery heating, bursting and fire.
18) Avoid directly connecting the battery to a electric source such as a 12V car charger, or car
battery, which may cause excess current to flow at high voltage and can cause electrolyte
leakage, overheating of a cell or battery, bursting and fire.
