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.
Burn hazard. Electrolyte fluid is flammable. In case of electrolyte leakage, immediately move the battery pack out of a fire
range. If a battery pack catches fire, the vapors can irritate the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.
Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place battery
in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
WARNING:
Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive
materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in
commerce or on airplanes (i.e., packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short
circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do
DANGER:
not insert into charger. Electric shock or electrocution may result.
Damaged battery packs should be returned to service center for recycling.
Battery pack must be securely attached to tool. If battery pack is detached, personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
In case of fire, use a dry chemical fire extinguisher. Before you start to extinguish the fire, check the direction of
the wind. Do not stand at the downwind side and avoid the inhalation of toxic fumes.
For the Li-Ion battery pack a dedicated Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) is available. Contact your local Holmatro dealer.
