charger:
"Class II - The machine is
double insulated; Earthing wire
is therefore not necessary

transport and storage, remove the battery from the
garden product. There is danger of injury when
unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
Use only ELEM GARDEN TECHNIC battery

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 burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritations or
burns.

battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area
and seek medical help in case of complaints. The
vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
