ejected from the battery pack; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery pack may cause irritation or burns.
■
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
■
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperatures. Exposure to fire
or excessive temperature above 130°C may

charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
