▶ The location at which the charger is used should be clean, cool, dry and protected from frost.
▶ The charger must be able to give off heat while charging is in progress. Accordingly, remove the charger
from the toolbox. Do not operate the charger inside a closed container.
▶ Maintain the product carefully. Check to ensure that no parts are broken or damaged in such a way that
the appliance may no longer function correctly. If parts are damaged, have the parts repaired before
using the appliance.
▶ Misuse can result in liquid escaping from the battery. Avoid contact with this liquid. If contact accidentally
occurs, rinse with water. Seek medical attention if the liquid comes into contact with the eyes. Liquid
escaping from the battery can cause skin irritation or burns.

pushed-in and/or pulled-out contacts).
Service
▶ Have your product repaired only by qualified, skilled personnel, using only genuine Hilti spare parts. The
