Lithium-Ion battery
WARNING
Please make sure to follow the following instructions for using lithium-ion
batteries!
a) Only charge the batteries in chargers recommended by the manufacturer.
If the
battery is not charged on a suitable charger, it can be permanently damaged.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment manual for proper charging
instructions.
b) Only use the provided battery for power tools.
The use of other batteries can lead to
injuries and fire hazards.
c) Do not dismantle, open or shred the battery.
d)
If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, it must not remain on
the charger or on the tool.
If a work break of more than 3 hours is expected, the
battery must be removed from the tool. Otherwise, the battery may be permanently
damaged.
e)
The lithium-ion battery should not remain on the charger for longer than 36 hours
for safety reasons.
Remove the battery from the charger immediately after the
charging process is completed.
f)
An empty battery should not be in contact with the tool or a charger that is
disconnected from the mains for a longer period of time
. In both cases, currents
are flowing that deep discharge the battery and can permanently damage it.
g)
Recharge the lithium-ion batteries immediately and never store them when empty.
If the battery is stored while disconnected from the tool and the charger, it will
maintain a constant capacity over a long period of time. (Loss approx. 5 % per year)
h)
Always transport the battery separately from the tool.
You thus prevent accidentally
switching on the tool and deep discharging the battery.
i)
Do not subject the lithium-ion battery to high temperatures (+ 50°C) or direct
sunlight.
If the battery gets warmer than 50° C during operation (charging or
discharging), it must be removed from the charger or tool immediately.
j)
Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects which might bridge the contacts. Do not open the battery and do
not short-circuit it.
A short-circuit between the battery contacts can lead to burns,
fire or explosions.
