SPECIFIC RULES FOR BATTERY OPERATION  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.  Use battery operated products only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of fire.  Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.  Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.  Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly injury.  Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.  Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.  Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.  Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  Battery powered garage door openers do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when making adjustments or changing accessories.
