3. Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
4. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur
under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack.
However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage
comes into contact with your skin:
• Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
If the leakage gets in your eyes:
• Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of
10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25 - 35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.
5. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open
or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it.
6. Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket
or toolbox or any other place where it may come into
contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be short
circuited causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a
fire. If storing the battery pack, cover the terminals with a
heavy insulation tape to ensure short circuit cannot occur.
Batteries, when stored for a long period of time,
will discharge.
7. Only charge the battery with the charger system supplied.
8. This battery pack contains nickel-cadmium batteries.
Consult your local waste authority for information
regarding available recycling and/or disposal options
of a damaged or worn-out battery pack.
