2.8 Safety regulations with respect to Li-Ion battery packs
Li-Ion battery packs are entirely different from NiCad and NiMH battery packs and must be handled
differently. Before and after every use of your Li-Ion battery pack, inspect the battery pack carefully to
ensure no physical damage is evident, such as loose plugs and wires. Such signs often indicate that a
problem exists with the battery pack that could lead to failure.
2.9 Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS)
For the Li-Ion battery pack a dedicated Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) is available. Contact your
local Holmatro dealer.
