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.
