h) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly
or at temperatures outside of the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
i) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
j) Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack (as applicable) except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
DANGER! Fire risk!
The battery product to be charged must be placed
on a nonflammable, heat resistant and nonconduc
tive surface while charging.
Keep corrosive, flammable and easily combustible
objects clear of the battery charger and the battery
product.
Do not cover the battery charger and the battery
product while charging.
Disconnect the battery charger immediately in the event
of smoke formation or fire.
Only use the original GARDENA Charger to charge the
battery. The use of other battery chargers may damage
the batteries irreparably and even cause a fire.
Do not charge any third-party batteries. There is a risk of
fire and explosion!
If you notice fire: Extinguish the flames with oxygen
reducing materials.
DANGER! Risk of explosion!
Protect battery products from heat and fire. Do not
leave on radiators or expose to strong sunshine for
long periods.
Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Battery products may create sparks which could
ignite the dust or fumes.
Only charge and use the battery product in ambient
temperatures of between 0 °C and 40 °C. Allow battery
to cool down after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage or
ageing (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow or transport the battery product above 45 °C
or in direct sunlight. Ideally, the battery product should be
stored below 25 °C so that self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery product to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a battery product will increase the
risk of electric shock.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time
(winter period) reload the battery to avoid a deep dis-
charge.
Do not store the battery product in places where static
electricity is present.
