b) Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and
keep them away from fire. This presents a risk of
explosion.
c) Do not disassemble, squash or incinerate batter-
ies and do not subject them to temperatures over
80°C. This presents a risk of fire, explosion or injury
through contact with caustic substances.
d) Avoid ingress of moisture. Ingress of moisture may
en
cause a short circuit, resulting in burning injuries or
fire.
e) Use only batteries of the type approved for use
with the applicable power tool. Use of unapproved
batteries or use of the batteries in areas of application
for which they are not approved presents a risk of
fire and explosion.
f) Observe the special guidelines applicable to the
transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
g) Avoid short circuiting the battery terminals. Be-
fore inserting the battery in the tool, make sure
that the battery terminals and the terminals in the
