WARNING
In order to prevent any battery leakage, heat
generation, smoke emission, explosion and ignition
beforehand, please be sure to heed the following
precautions.
1. Make sure that swarf and dust do not collect on
the battery.
○
During work make sure that swarf and dust do
not fall on the battery.
○
Make sure that any swarf and dust falling on the

8. Do not put or subject the battery to high
temperatures or high pressure such as into
a microwave oven, dryer, or high pressure
container.
9. Keep away from fire immediately when leakage
or foul odor are detected.
10. Do not use in a location where strong static
electricity generates.
11. If there is battery leakage, foul odor, heat
generated, discolored or deformed, or in any
way appears abnormal during use, recharging
or storage, immediately remove it from the
equipment or battery charger, and stop use.
12. Do not immerse the battery or allow any fluids
to flow inside. Conductive liquid ingress, such
