Handling the Battery Pack Safely (continued)
•
Never dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire, as the Battery Pack may explode.
•
Never open or mutilate the Battery Pack; released materials are flammable.
•
If fire or explosion occurs, do not breathe the fumes. A burning Battery Pack will create toxic fumes. Fire fighters should use
self-contained breathing apparatus.
•
NEVER USE WATER on a burning Battery. If possible, separate the Battery Pack from other flammable materials and use ABC
rated fire extinguishers. Sand may be used to smother the fire if a fire extinguisher is not available.
•
Do not ship damaged Battery Packs and be sure to use the original packaging materials when shipping Batteries and tools
back to DR
®
Power Equipment if you decide you do not want them. Special labeling on the packaging is required because the
Batteries are considered hazardous materials. Check with airlines before trying to check Lithium batteries with your baggage.
New regulations are being considered that may restrict packaging and shipping of these Batteries as well as tools with
Batteries installed.
•
Please dispose of your used Battery Packs responsibly by recycling them, never throw away used Battery Packs in your
household trash. Call your local Solid Waste Management District or your local waste handler to locate the collection site
nearest you. Some collection sites recycle Battery Packs year-round; others collect them periodically.
