SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Internal cell materials, such as electrolyte leaked from battery cell, are carefully dealt with according to the followings:

Personal Precautions: Forbid unauthorized person to enter. Remove leaked materials with protective equipment written in section 8.

Environmental Precautions: Do not throw out into the environment.

Method Of Recovery and Neutralization: Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric acid. Any

exposed solid that contains the electrolyte is to be placed into a container. The area exposed to the electrolyte should be fully flushed

with water.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling

Technical Measures:

Prevention Of User Exposure: Not necessary under normal use

Prevention Of Fire and Explosion: Not necessary under normal use

Precaution For Safe Handling: Do not damage or remove the external tube

Specific safe handling advice: Never throw out cells in a fire or expose to high temperatures. Do not soak cells in water and

seawater. Do not expose to strong oxidizers. Do not give a strong mechanical shock or throw

down. Never disassemble, modify or deform. Do not connect the positive terminal to the negative

with electrically conductive material. In case of charging, use only a charger specified by Makita.

Storage

Technical Measures:

Storage Conditions (suitable to be avoided): Avoid direct sunlight, high temperature, high humidity. Store in cool places

(temperature: -20 ~ 30 degree C, humidity: from 40 to 80%).

Incompatible Products: Conductive materials, water, seawater, strong oxidizers and strong acids.

Packing Material (recommended, not suitable): Insulative and tear-proof materials are recommended.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
