Electrical safety:
FIRE RISK!
v
The battery to be charged must be placed on a non-flammable,
heat resistant and non-conductive surface while charging.
Keep corrosive, flammable and easily combustible objects clear
of the battery charger and the battery. Do not cover the battery
charger and the battery while charging. Unplug the battery
charger immediately in the event of smoke formation or fire.
Only original GARDENA Charger Units may be used for charging.
The use of other battery chargers may damage the batteries irreparably
and even cause a fire.
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do not leave on radiators or
expose to strong sunshine for long periods.
Only use and charge the battery in ambient temperatures of between
0 °C and 40 °C. Allow battery to cool down after long periods of use.
The charging cable should be checked regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness) and may only be used if it is in perfect condition.
Storage:
Do not store the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight. Ideally,
the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low.
Never store while still attached to a tool, this prevents misuse and
accidents.
Do not store the battery in places where static electricity is present.
Warning! This machine produces an electro magnetical field during
operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with
active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their
physician and the medical implant manu facturer before operating this
machine. Do not use the product when a thunderstorm is approaching.
Danger! Small parts could be swallowed during assembly and there
is a risk of suffocation from the polybag. Keep infants away during
assembly.
