TapeTech EHKAC-18V Operation Manual

Additional safety/information on the rechargeable battery
To ensure maximum battery life and best battery performance, always charge the battery when the temperature
is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Do not charge or store your battery in temperatures below 0°C and above 40°C.
Failure to observe this safety rule may cause serious damage to the battery pack.
Do not discard the battery in a fire. The battery pack can explode.
If battery fluid leaks and comes in contact with skin, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water.
The fluid can be neutralized by using a mild acidic substance, such as lemon juice or vinegar. In the event of
contact with the eyes, rinse with clean water for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical advice. Inform
medical personnel that this fluid is a 25-35% potassium hydroxide solution.
Do not attempt to open the battery pack. If the plastic housing around the battery pack breaks or exhibits any
cracks, stop using the battery pack immediately and do not charge it again. Dispose of the damaged battery
pack as hazardous waste as per the applicable regulations.
Do not keep a spare battery in your pocket or store it in a toolbox. Make sure that the poles do not come into
contact with any metal objects during transport. Such objects can short circuit and damage the battery pack, as
well as result in burns or a fire. When storing or disposing of the battery pack tape over the contacts using thick
insulating tape to prevent it from short-circuiting. Batteries that are stored for a prolonged period become
discharged. Do not store or use the tool and the battery pack in areas where the temperature reaches, or
exceeds, 104°F. Do not subject the battery pack to any mechanical loads / processes.
Keep the battery away from open flames, ovens or other high temperature areas. Do not expose the battery to
direct sunlight and do not use or leave it in a vehicle during hot weather. This can result in the development of
heat or the battery exploding or igniting. Such use of the battery can also lead to reduced performance and a
shorter service life.
If you intend to store a battery for an extended period without use, store the battery at room temperature (60°F to
80°F), charged to about 30 – 50% of capacity. In case of extended periods of storage, charge the battery once a
year to avoid deep discharge. After charging the battery pack allow it to cool down. Do not leave it in warm areas
or in direct sunlight.
Charge the battery with the supplied charger only; use the battery only with
TapeTech EHKAC-18V Hot Knife or other approved TapeTech cordless tools.
Disposal of the Li-Ion battery
packs/batteries should be collected, recycled or disposed of in an environmental-friendly manner.
