Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or
injury to the user and other personnel through safe, correct use of the
product. Use the product only after carefully reading and fully
understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the
instructions that accompany a “Warning” symbol
may result in serious injury or death.
Note
The items under this heading contain important
handling instructions that the user should observe to
ensure safe use of the product.
Always observe the following items when using the battery. Failure
to handle the battery correctly may cause the battery to leak or burst,
resulting in injury or equipment damage.
x Do not heat the battery or throw it into a fire.
x Never short-circuit the battery or connect the positive and
negative terminals in reverse.
x When carrying/storing the battery, do not place it together with
metal necklaces, hairpins, coins, keys or other conductive
objects. Also, store the battery away from direct sunlight in a
place not subject to high temperature or high humidity.
x Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
x Do not apply solder directly to the battery.
x Use a dedicated charger (controller) to charge the battery.
x The battery has a vent structure for the release of internal gas.
Do not apply a strong force to the battery, since it may cause
this structure to deform.
x When installing the battery into the machine, never place it
inside a sealed structure. The battery sometimes generates gas,
which, if trapped, may cause a burst or an explosion due to
ignition.
x The battery contains an alkali solution. If the alkali solution
comes in contact with the skin or clothes, flush the area
thoroughly with clean water. If the alkali solution gets into the
eyes, do not rub. Flush the eyes thoroughly with clean water
and seek immediate medical attention.
x Do not use the battery if there is leakage, discoloration,
deformation or another abnormality.
x Do not immerse the battery in water or seawater, nor allow it to
become wet. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat
or rust.
x Do not scratch the battery. A scratched battery easily causes
shorting, resulting in leakage, heat generation or bursting.
x The battery is connected to the primary circuit, so do not touch
the battery while the power is on.
Note x Always charge the battery before using.
x The product uses nickel-cadmium batteries. Dispose
of the used batteries in accordance with local laws
and regulations. If you have any questions regarding
disposal of the product, please contact any Oriental
Motor branch or sales office.
