NOTE: Do not store the battery pack in the vacuum with the
trigger switch locked on. Never tape down the on/off button in the
ON position.
DANGER: Electrocution hazard. Never attempt to open the tower
battery pack for any reason. If the tower battery pack case is cracked
or damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage the tower battery pack. Do not use a tower battery pack
or charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over
or damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged tower battery packs should be returned to
the service center for recycling.
NOTE: Battery storage and carrying caps are provided
for use whenever the tower battery pack is out of the tool
or charger. Remove the cap before placing battery in
charger or tool.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the battery
pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery
terminals. For example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc. 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 (e.g., packed in suitcases and carry-on
luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual battery packs, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could
contact them and cause a short circuit.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Never attempt to open the slide battery
pack for any reason. If the slide battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not crush, drop or
damage the slide battery pack. Do not use a slide battery pack or
charger that has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (e.g., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer,
stepped on). Damaged slide battery packs should be returned to the
service center for recycling.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR NICKEL CADMIUM
(NiCd) OR NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE (NiMH)
• 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.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. This
does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken:
a. and the battery liquid gets on your skin, immediately wash with
soap and water for several minutes.
b. and the battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention. (Medical note: The liquid is 25–35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.)
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.
