Regarding Lithium-Ion Battery Transportation - Metabo HPT RP 3608DA Mode D'emploi

Furthermore, please heed the following warning and
caution.
WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat
generation, smoke emission, explosion and ignition
beforehand, please be sure to heed the following
precautions.
1. Do not incinerate this appliance even if it is
severely damaged. The batteries can explode
in a fi re.
2. Do not pierce battery with a sharp object such
as a nail, strike with a hammer, step on, throw
or subject the battery to severe physical shock.
3. Do not use an apparently damaged or
deformed battery.
4. Do not use the battery in reverse polarity.
5. Do not connect directly to an electrical outlets
or car cigarette lighter sockets.
6. Do not use the battery for a purpose other than
those specifi ed.
7. If the battery charging fails to complete even
when a specifi ed recharging time has elapsed,
immediately stop further recharging.
8. Do not put or subject the battery to high
temperatures or high pressure such as into
a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure
container.
9. Keep away from fi re immediately when leakage
or foul odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static
electricity generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat
generated, discolored or deformed, or in any
way appears abnormal during use, recharging
or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
12. Caution-The battery used in this device
may present a risk of fi re or chemical burn if
mistreated. Do no disassemble, heat above
104°F (40°C), or incinerate. Replace battery
with metabo HPT battery type BSL36B18 only.
Use of another battery may present a risk of fi re
or explosion.
13. Dispose of used battery promptly.
Keep away from children. Do not disassemble
and do not dispose of in fi re.
CAUTION
1. If liquid leaking from the battery gets into your
eyes, do not rub your eyes and wash them well
with fresh clean water such as tap water and
contact a doctor immediately.
If left untreated, the liquid may cause eye-
problems.
2. If liquid leaks onto your skin or clothes, wash
well with clean water such as tap water
immediately.
There is a possibility that this can cause skin
irritation.
3. If you fi nd rust, foul odor, overheating, discolor,
deformation, and/or other irregularities when
using the battery for the fi rst time, do not use
and return it to your supplier or vendor.
WARNING
If a conductive foreign matter enters in the
terminal of lithium ion battery, the battery may
be shorted, causing fi re. When storing the
lithium ion battery, obey surely the rules of
following contents.
○ Do not place conductive debris, nail and
wires such as iron wire and copper wire in
the storage case.
○ Either install the battery in the power tool
or store by securely pressing into the
battery cover until the ventilation holes
are concealed to prevent short-circuits
(See Fig. 3).
REGARDING LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
TRANSPORTATION
When transporting a lithium-ion battery, please
observe the following precautions.
WARNING
Notify the transporting company that a package
contains a lithium-ion battery, inform the
company of its power output and follow the
instructions of the transportation company
when arranging transport.
● Lithium-ion batteries that exceed a power
output of 100 Wh are considered to be in
the freight classifi cation of Dangerous
Goods and will require special application
procedures.
