SECTION 3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

For the battery cell, chemical materials are stored in a hermetically sealed

metal case, designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during

normal use. As a result, during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition

or explosion and chemical danger of hazardous materials’ leakage.

However, if exposed to a fire, added mechanical shocks, decomposed, added

electric stress by misuse, the gas release vent will be operated. The battery cell

case will be breached at the extreme. Hazardous materials may be released.

Moreover, if heated strongly by the surrounding fire, acrid or harmful fume may be

emitted.

Most important hazard and effects

Human health effects:

Inhalation:

The electrolyte inhalation affects the respiratory tract membrane and the

lungs. Cadmium fume may cause a cough, chest pain and dyspnea.

Bronchitis and pneumonia will be occurred. Probably, it is carcinogen.

Skin Contact:

The electrolyte skin contact affects the skin seriously and may

cause dermatitis.

Product: Paslode® Batteries - 404717 & 402500 Eye Contact: The electrolyte leaked from the battery cell is strong alkali. When it goes into an eye, the cornea may be affected and it may lead to blindness. Ingestion: The electrolyte ingestion irritates the mouth and the throat seriously results in vomiting, nausea, hematemesis, stomach pains and diarrhea. Environmental Effects: Since a battery cell remains in the environment, do not throw it out into the environment.

Product: Paslode® Batteries - 404717 & 402500 Method of Cleaning Up: Dilute the leaked electrolyte with water and neutralize with diluted sulfuric acid. The leaked solid is moved to a container. The leaked place is 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 external tube.
