CAUTION
Leakage of dangerous substances
Dangerous substances cannot leak from the battery pack during
normal use, so there is no danger of contact with toxic materials.
Leakage can only occur due to mechanical damage to the casing. If
there is a chemical leak, please note the following information:
Gases released by a fire or by mechanical damage can cause
breathing difficulties. Ventilate the area immediately or go outside into
the fresh air. In case of emergency, seek medical attention.
The chemicals may cause irritation if they come into contact with your
skin. If this happens, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and
water.
Your eyes may also be irritated. If this happens, wash your eyes
thoroughly with water and seek medical attention.
Wipe up any spilled electrolyte with an absorbent cloth, making sure
that you protect your skin, eyes and respiratory tract from contact with
the electrolyte.
