Hilti PMD 200 Manual De Instrucciones Original página 34

▶ Do not touch the battery poles with your fingers, tools, jewelry, or other metallic objects because this
may cause a short circuit, electric shock, burns or explosions.
▶ Keep batteries away from rain and moisture. Penetrating moisture can cause short circuits, electric
shock, burns or explosions.
▶ Use only chargers and power tools approved for the specific battery type. Read and follow the instructions
in the respective user manuals.
▶ Do not store or use the battery in explosion-prone environments containing combustible liquids or gases.
An unexpected battery malfunction can cause an explosion under those conditions.
What to do in case of damaged batteries
▶ If a Hilti battery is found to be damaged, contact your Hilti service partner.
▶ If a battery is leaking, use safety goggles and gloves to avoid direct eye or skin contact.
▶ To store a damaged battery, place the battery in a non-flammable container and cover the battery with
dry sand, chalk powder (CaCO3) or silicate (Vermiculite). Then, close the lid air-tight and store the
container away from flammable gases, liquids or objects.
▶ Dispose of the container at your Hilti Store, or consult your local governmental garbage disposal or
public health and safety resources for disposal instructions. Do not ship or mail damaged batteries!
▶ Use a chemical spill cleanup kit to remove leaked battery fluid.
What to do in case of dysfunctional batteries
▶ Watch for abnormal battery behavior, such as faulty charging or unusually long charging times, noticeable
power loss, unusual charger LED activity, or leaking fluids. These are signs of an internal problem.
▶ If you suspect an internal battery problem, contact your Hilti service partner.
▶ A battery that no longer works, cannot be recharged or leaks fluid has to be disposed of as described
above.
▶ See What to do in case of damaged batteries.
What to do in case of a battery fire
WARNING
Battery fire hazard! A burning battery will release hazardous and potentially explosive liquids and fumes
which may result in a corrosion injury, burns or explosion.
▶ Wear your personal protective equipment when you tackle a battery fire.
▶ Provide sufficient venting to permit hazardous and potentially explosive fumes to escape.
▶ Leave the room immediately in case of intense smoke emission.
▶ Consult a doctor in case of any skin or respiratory irritation.
▶ Use only water to tackle a battery fire. Powder fire extinguishers and fire blankets are ineffective with
Li-Ion batteries. Fires started by a lithium-ion battery in nearby materials can be extinguished with any
appropriate extinguishing agent.
▶ Do not try to move large quantities of damaged, burning or leaking batteries. Instead, remove surrounding
materials and isolate the batteries. If the scale of the fire is larger than can be extinguished with available
methods, contact the nearest firefighting authority.
In the case of a single burning battery:
▶ Scoop the battery up with a shovel and drop it into a bucket of water, which will reduce the risk of igniting
adjacent cells that have not yet reached run-away temperature.
▶ Wait for the battery to cool down completely.
▶ See What to do in case of damaged batteries.
Shipping and storage
▶ Ambient operating temperature between -17 °C and +60 °C / 1 °F and 140 °F.
▶ Storage temperature between -20 °C and +40 °C / -4 °F and 104 °F.
▶ Do not store batteries on the charger. Always separate battery and charger after use.
▶ Store batteries in a place that is as cool and dry as possible. Cool storage will increase battery life. Never
store batteries where they are exposed to direct sunlight, on sources of heat or behind glass.
▶ Do not send batteries through the mail. Consult your shipper for instructions on how to ship undamaged
batteries.
▶ Never transport batteries in bulk form (loose, unprotected). During transport, batteries should be
protected from excessive shock and vibration and isolated from any conductive materials or other
batteries that may come in contact with the terminals and cause a short circuit.
