vehicle windscreen. Batteries that have reached the end
of their life must be disposed of safely and correctly to
avoid environmental pollution.

Ensure that the outer surfaces of the battery are clean
and dry before inserting it in the corresponding charger.
For information about the charging process, read the

(transport position).
If you disconnect a battery pack from the power tool
for transport or storage, make sure that the contacts of
the battery pack are not short-circuited. Remove loose
metal parts such as screws, nails, clamps, loose screw
bits, wires or metal swarf from the case, toolbox or
transport container, or prevent these parts from coming
into contact with the battery packs.
Observe national and international transport regulations
when shipping battery packs (transportation by road, rail,
sea or air).
