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 re. 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. Additionally, seek medical attention. 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.
• Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to re or excessive temperature. Exposure
to re or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.

TRANSPORTATION
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,
toolboxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly cause res if the battery terminals inadvertently comes in
contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department
of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibits 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.
