Important Safety Instructions For All Battery Chargers - DeWalt DW934 Manual De Instrucciones

• 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.
The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corp oration) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal

indicate that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery packs)
at the end of their useful life have already been paid by D
In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel cadmium, nickel
metal hydride or lithium ion batteries in the trash or municipal solid
waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally
conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with D
has established programs in the United States and Canada to
facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium
and nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium ion batteries
to an authorized D
