SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LITHIUM ION (Li-lon)
•
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.
•

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.

A WARNING:
Bum hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.

hydride or lithium ion batteries (or battery packs)indicate
that the costs to recycle these batteries (or battery
packs) at the end of their useful life have already been
paid by DEWALT. 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
TM
in cooperation with DFWALT and other battery users, 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, nickel metal hydride
or lithium ion batteries to an authorized DEiWALT service center or
to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery.
