If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug the 

charger from the mains supply and leave it for at least 

15 minutes. After this time you can charge a second 

battery pack.

Additional safety rules for the battery pack

• 

The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low 

charge condition. You should charge the battery pack 

fully before use.

• 

Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting 

battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools 

that have the switch on invites accidents.

• 

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery 

packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk 

of injury and fire.

• 

To ensure the longest battery life and best battery 

performance, always charge the battery when the air 

temperature is between 18–24°C. Do not charge the 

battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or 

above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe 

this safety rule could cause serious damage to the 

battery pack.

• 

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. 

• 

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously 

damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery 

pack can explode in a fire.

• 

Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. 

If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open 

or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not 

recharge it.

• 

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 irritation or burns. 

• 

The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells. 

Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material. Use an 

environmentally safe disposal unit at a municipal waste 

disposal centre to dispose of a damaged or worn 

out battery.

Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely 

that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If 

you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the 

parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. 

Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
