Storage Recommendations - DeWalt DCD771 Manual De Instrucciones

ENgLISh
• 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.
• Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed to spark
or flame.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
•
reason. If the battery pack case is cracked or
damaged, do not insert into the charger. Do not
crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a
battery pack or charger that has received a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or damaged in any way (e.g.,
pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on).
Damaged battery packs should be returned to the service
center for recycling.

Storage Recommendations

The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. Store the fully
charged battery pack out of the charger.
Battery Pack Cleaning Instructions
Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
battery pack using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaning solutions.
Fuel Gauge Battery Packs (Fig. B)
Some battery packs include a fuel gauge. When the
fuel gauge button is pressed and held, the LED lights
will indicate the approximate level of charge remaining.
This does not indicate tool functionality and is subject to
variation based on product components, temperature, and
end-user application.
Transportation

WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store, carry, or
transport the battery pack so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place the battery pack in aprons,
pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc.,
with loose nails, screws, keys, coins, hand tools, etc.
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.
NOTE: Li-ion battery packs should not be put in
checked baggage on airplanes and must be properly
protected from short circuits if they are in carry-
on baggage.

Shipping the D WALT FLEXVOLT™ Battery Pack
e
The D WALT FLEXVOLT™ battery pack has a battery cap that
e
should be used when shipping the battery pack.
Attach the cap to the battery pack to ready it for shipping.
This converts the battery pack to three separate 20V
batteries. The three batteries have the Watt hour rating
labeled "Shipping" on the battery pack. If shipping without
the cap or in a tool, the pack is one battery at the Watt hour
rating labeled "Use".
Example battery pack label:
USE: 120 Wh SHIPPING: 3 x 40 Wh
In this example, the battery pack is three batteries with 40
Watt hours each when using the cap. Otherwise, the battery
pack is one battery with 120 Watt hours.
