_WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery
pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose
nails, screws, keys, etc. 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 (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits.
So when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the
battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that
could contact them and cause a short circuit.
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.
• 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 persist, seek medical
attention.
_WARNING: Bum hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.

(Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
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.
