objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or machine that is
damaged or modied. Damaged or modied
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in re, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or machine to
re or excessive temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause
explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or machine outside of
the temperature range specied in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
