rechargeable battery within the
stated voltage range. They could
otherwise catch fire or explode.
Keep the charger clean. Soiling

Contact with eyes: Immediately
rinse eyes with copious quantities
of clean water, such as tap water,
but do not rub. Seek medical atten-
tion. Failure to take the appropriate
action can result in loss of sight.
Contact with skin: Immediately
wash the areas affected with copi-
ous quantities of clean water, such

ately and wash the skin with water.
If irritation persists after washing,
seek medical attention.
