SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM (NiCd) OR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)

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.

A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.

However, if the outer seal is broken:

a.and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with soap and water for several minutes.

b.and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is

25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.)

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.

Battery Cap (fi g. 3)

A protective battery cap is supplied to cover the contacts of a detached battery pack. Without the protective cap in place, loose metal objects could short circuit the contacts, causing a fire hazard and damaging the battery pack.
