SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully before use!
Charger
•
Before using the battery charger, carefully read all instructions and warnings on the battery
charger, the battery and the product that the battery will be used for.
•
The charger switches off automatically when the battery is fully charged. The charging indicator
light remains on until the charger is disconnected from the mains supply.
•
Only use the charger supplied with your product or an original replacement charger. Do not use
any other charger.
•
Do not take the charger apart.
•
Do not use the charger if it has been damaged, left outside in the rain or snow, exposed to wet or
damp conditions or has been immersed in water.
•
The battery and charger become hot when charging. Place the charger on a flat, non-combustible
surface, away from flammable materials and with at least 10 cm of free space to allow for good air
circulation around the charger and the battery
•
The battery will need to be recharged for 3-5 hours for the tool to operate at full power. A charging
indicator lights up on the charger to show that charging is in progress.
Battery
•
Before using the battery, carefully read all the instructions and warnings on the battery, the battery
charger and the product that the battery will be used for. The battery must not be incinerated, even
if it is seriously damaged or completely worn out. Risk of explosion.
•
Do not carry the battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product packaging, extensible drawers, etc.
with loose metal objects. If the battery terminals are short-circuited, the battery may catch fire or
become burned or damaged.
•
Always replace with a new battery when the output power of the tool starts to decrease. Batteries
are damaged most quickly by exposure to high temperatures. The greater the heat generated, the
faster the battery will lose its output power. The service life of a battery will be reduced if it
becomes too hot.
•
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool when its output has already started to decrease.
Do not try to discharge a tool's battery by continuing to press the power switch. Turn off the tool
and recharge the battery to ensure optimum performance when the output power of the tool starts
to decrease.
•
Charge the battery at an ambient temperature of 10–40°C.
•
The tool and battery should never be stored at temperatures higher than 50°C. This is important to
prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
•
The battery should always be recharged when the machine starts to lose its power.
•
When the battery is not being used, it must be kept away from other metal objects such as
paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can form a connection
between two terminals. If the battery terminals are short-circuited, sparks, burns or fire can occur.
Electrical safety
•
Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the charger. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Replace damaged power cords immediately.
Damaged power cords can cause fires.
•
Battery-powered tools with built-in batteries or a separate battery may only be recharged with the
specified battery charger. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery can pose a fire risk if
used with another battery.
•
Only use battery-powered tools with the intended battery. Use of other batteries may pose a fire
risk.
