Additional Safety Rules Related to the Battery Pack and Battery Safety
• Stop using the battery if it exhibits
abnormal heat, odour, colour,
deformation or is in an abnormal
condition.
• If you detect leakage or a foul odour, it is
especially important to keep the battery
away from fire. If battery liquid leaks
onto your skin or clothes, wash well with
clean water immediately. If liquid leaking
from the battery gets into your eyes,
do not rub your eyes. Rinse your eyes
well (for at least 10 minutes) with clean
water, and consult a doctor immediately.
Do not use a leaking battery.
• Handle batteries with care to avoid
shorting the battery with conducting
materials, such as nails, screws, metal
watch bands, rings, bracelets, and keys.
The battery may overheat and could
burn you.
• After the battery has reached the end of
its useful life, we recommend recycling
the materials at your local municipal
recycling centre. DO NOT attempt to
replace the battery cells in the battery
pack, repair or modify any part of the
battery pack assembly.
• When recycling, make it nonconductive
by applying insulating tape to the
terminals located on the battery.
When to charge the battery
• New batteries are shipped in a low-
charge condition and should be fully
charged before use. Using the three-to-
five hour charger, the battery will be fully
charged in this period of time. It will be
charged in one hour using the fast, one-
hour charger after the battery pack has
been used and charged a few times.
