v
Supervise children during use, cleaning and
maintenance. This will ensure that children do not
play with the charger.
v
Charge only lithium-ion batteries of the POWER
FOR ALL system type PBA 18V with a capacity
of 1.5 Ah or more (5 battery cells or more). The
battery voltage must match the battery charging
voltage of the charger. Do not charge any nonre-
chargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
v
Do not expose the charger to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
v
Keep the charger clean.
Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
v
Always check the charger, cable and plug before
use. Stop using the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charger yourself, and
have it repaired only by a qualified specialist
using only original replacement parts.
Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the
risk of electric shock.
v
Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited
surface (e. g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in a flam-
mable environment. There is a risk of fire due to the
charger heating up during operation.
v
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
v
In case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery, vapours may also be emitted.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects.
The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
v
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery. Contact with this liquid should
be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse
off with water. If the liquid comes into contact
with your eyes, seek additional medical atten-
tion. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
v
In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply
cord needs to be replaced, this must be done by
GARDENA or by a customer service centre that is
authorised to repair GARDENA power tools.
