| SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURE | |
THE PRODUCT CONTAINS ORGANIC ELECTROLYTE. IN CASE OF ELECTROLYTE LEAKAGE
FORM THE BATTERY, ACTIONS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE REQUIRED.
EYE CONTACT:
FLUSH THE EYES WITH PLENTY OF CLEAN WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES
IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT RUBBING, AND CALL A DOCTOR. IF APPROPRIATE
PROCEDURES ARE NOT TAKEN; THIS MAY CAUSE AN EYE IRRITATION.
SKIN CONTACT:
WASH THE CONTACT AREAS OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SOAP. IF
APPROPRIATE PROCEDURES ARE NOT TAKEN, THIS MAY CAUSE SORES ON THE SKIN.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY, AND CALL A DOCTOR.
| SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
USE SPECIFIED EXTINGUISHERS (GAS, FOAM, POWDER) AND EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM
UNDER THE FIRE DEFENSE LAW.
SINCE CORROSIVE GAS MAY BE PRODUCED AT THE TIME OF FIRE EXTINGUISHING, USE
AN AIR INHALATOR WHEN DANGER IS PREDICTED.
USE A LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER AS A SUPPORTIVE MEASURE IN ORDER TO GET COOLING
EFFECT IF NEEDED. (INDOOR/OUTDOOR FIRE HYDRANT)
CARRY AWAY FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF FIRE.
MOVE BATTERIES TO A SAFER PLACE IMMEDIATELY IN CASE OF FIRE.

CHARGING:
CHARGE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF 0 DEG. C TO 40 DEG. C (32 DEG. F TO 104 DEG. F)
TEMPERATURE. CHARGE WITH SPECIFIED CHARGER DESIGNED FOR THIS BATTERY PACK
DISCHARGING:
DISCHARGE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF -20 DEG. C TO 60 DEG. C (-4 DEG. F TO 140
DEG. F) TEMPERATURE.
DISPOSAL:
DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION:
DO NOT INCINERATE. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
DO NOT EXPOSE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES. (140 DEG. F/60 DEG. C) DO NOT IMPACT,
PIERCE OR CRUSH THE BATTERY.
USE SPECIFIED CHARGER ONLY. DISPOSE OF PROPERLY.
| SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
(IN CASE ELECTROLYTE IS LEAKED FROM BATTERY)
ACCEPTABLE CONCENTRATION: NOT SPECIFIED IN ACGIH.
FACILITIES:
PROVIDE APPROPRIATE VENTILATION SUCH AS LOCAL VENTILATION SYSTEM IN THE
STORAGE.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
GAS MASK FOR ORGANIC GASES, SAFETY GOGGLE, SAFETY GLOVE.
| SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES | |
APPEARANCE: LITHIUM-ION RECHARGEABLE CELLS ARE SET IN A RESIN CASE.
AVERAGE OPERATING VOLTAGE: 18V
| SECTION 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY | |
EXTERNAL SHORT-CIRCUIT, DEFORMATION BY CRUSH, HIGH TEMPERATURE (OVER 100
DEG. C) EXPOSURE OF THE BATTERY MAY CAUSE GENERATION OF HEAT AND IGNITION.
| SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
ACUTE TOXICITY: NO INFORMATION AS A BATTERY
LOCAL EFFECTS: NO INFORMATION AS A BATTERY
| SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
IF BATTERY IS BURIED IN THE GROUND, CORROSION MAY OCCUR ON THE OUTER
PLASTIC CASE OF BATTERY AND THE ELECTROLYTE MAY LEAK OUT. THERE IS NO
INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE.
| SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS | |
WHEN BATTERY IS DISPOSED, ISOLATE POSITIVE (+) AND NEGATIVE (-) TERMINALS
OF THE BATTERY TO AVOID THOSE TERMINALS FROM TOUCHING EACH OTHER. BATTERIES
MAY BE SHORT-CIRCUITED WHEN PILED UP OR MIXED WITH THE OTHER BATTERIES.
DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
| SECTION 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION | |
THE CELLS IN THESE BATTERIES HAVE BEEN TESTED AND MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE UN MANUAL OF TESTS AND CRITERIA, PART III, SUBSECTION 38.3.
WHEN A NUMBER OF BATTERIES ARE TRANSPORTED BY SHIP, VEHICLE AND RAILROAD
AVOID HIGH TEMPERATURE AND DEW CONDENSATION.
AVOID TRANSPORTATION WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE OF PACKAGE.
