IMPORTANT BATTERY PACK INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
• 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.
• Do not charge or use the battery in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Inserting or removing the battery
from the charger may ignite dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water.
• If battery liquid gets into the eyes, rinse 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.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause
respiratory irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms
persist, seek medical attention.
• Charge the battery packs only in battery chargers
supplied for charging this product.
• Do not pack with conductive items.

WARNING!
Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark or flame.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger or tool. Do not crush, drop, or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery
pack or charger that has received a sharp blow, has been dropped or has been run over or damaged
in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on). Damaged battery packs should be
returned to an authorized HYTORC service center for recycling.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit
transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes, (i.e. packed in suitcases and carry-on luggage).
When transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well
insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit. For any other concerns in
regarding the transportation of LI-ION batteries, consult your Transportation Carrier.
Fire hazard. Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers 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.
