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.
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.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical
attention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable if
exposed to spark or flame.
The RBRC Seal

The RBRC (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp­
®
oration) Seal on the nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium­ionbatteries (or battery packs)
indicates that the costs to recycle these batteries
(or battery packs) at the end of their useful life have
already been paid by D WALT. In some areas, it is illegal to place
e
spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride or lithium­ion batteries
in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the Call 2 Recycle
program provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
Call 2 Recycle, Inc., in cooperation with D
users, has established the program in the United States and Canada
to facilitate the collection of spent nickel cadmium, nickel metal
hydride or lithium­ion batteries. Help protect our environment and
conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel cadmium,
nickel metal hydride or lithium­ion batteries to an authorized D
service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also
contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop
off the spent battery. RBRC
