Milwaukee M12 User manual

  • Hello, I've reviewed the Product Information Sheet for the Milwaukee Lithium-ion Battery Rechargeable and am ready to answer your questions. This document details the safety aspects, proper handling, and transportation guidelines for the battery. I am aware about the potential hazards from internal materials of the battery, the first aid measures if exposure occurs, and the proper extinguishing media to use in case of fire. Please feel free to ask about anything covered in this document.
  • What are the potential health effects if the battery is damaged?
    What should I do if internal materials contact my skin?
    What kind of extinguishing media should be used in case of fire?
    What are the storage requirements for this battery?
