DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the battery
pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do
not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack.
Do not use a battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a
nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to service
center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are
provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in
charger or tool.
WARNING: Fire hazard. 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. 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.
