This section mentions all the basic safety and
warning information to be heeded when using the
charger. Read these instructions.
■
Only use the appliance as designated, i.e. for
charging the intended rechargeable batteries.
Only charge original rechargeable batteries
from AL-KO in the charging unit.
■
Before each use, inspect the entire appliance
– and especially the mains cable and the re-

age. Only use the appliance when it is in
proper working order.
■
Do not use the appliance in environments
where there is a potential risk of explosion
and/or fire.
■
Only operate the appliance indoors and do
not expose it to moisture and humidity.
■
Always place the charging unit on a well ven-
tilated and non-inflammable surface because

■
Before connecting the charging unit, make
sure that the mains voltage matches the volt-
age stated in the "Technical data".

not carry the charging unit by the mains cable
and do not remove the power plug from the
power outlet by pulling on the mains cable.

Protect the mains cable from heat, oil and
sharp edges to prevent it being damaged.
■
Do not use the charging unit and recharge-
able battery when soiled or wet. Before using
the appliance, clean and dry the recharge-
able battery.

able battery. There is a danger of electric
shock and short-circuit.

For your own safety, have your appliance re-
paired by qualified specialist personnel only
using original spare parts.

rised persons unless they are supervised by
