DeWalt DC800 Guide D'utilisation page 7

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.
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 U.S. 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.
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 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: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.

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 D
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™ in cooperation with D
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 D
