•
Keep the uninstalled battery away from office staples, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal
objects. These can potentially bridge the terminals. A short circuit between the battery terminals can cause
burns or fire.
•
If the battery is misused, fluid can leak from it. Avoid contact with such fluid. If you do come into contact with
it, wash the affected area with water. If battery fluid gets into the eyes, seek medical assistance
immediately. Contact with battery fluid can lead to skin irritation or burns.
•
Do not use battery that is damaged or has been modified. Damaged or modified batteries can behave
unpredictably and can lead to fire, explosion or risk of injuries.
•
Never expose a battery to fire or excessive temperatures. Fire or temperatures in excess of 130 °C (266 °F)
can lead to an explosion.
•
Comply with all instructions for charging, and never charge the battery or cordless tool at temperatures
outside the range specified in the instruction manual. Incorrect charging or charging at temperatures outside
the permissible range can render the battery useless and increase the risk of fire.
•
The battery may not be unplugged until the electrical tool has come to a complete stop.
•
Do not charge the battery in the presence of highly flammable substances or gases. On completion of
charging, unplug the charger from the socket. Do not dismantle the charger.
•
If the battery is kept in storage for an extended period, the charge status must be checked regularly. The
optimum charge status is between 50 % and 80 %. Batteries should be recharged a maximum of every
12 months so as to avoid deep discharging which can render the battery useless.
•
When a battery has run flat it must never by stored longer than 1 month in the discharged condition, so as to
avoid deep discharging which can render the battery useless.
•
The state of charge can be viewed by pressing the button on the battery. The battery can remain in the
electrical tool whilst this is done, but the tool must have been switched off at least 1 minute earlier, so as to
ensure an accurate reading. The number of LEDs that light up indicates state of charge. A flashing LED
indicates less than 10 % charge level. This display should be used only to indicate the charge remaining.
For further information, consult the operating instructions supplied with the charger.
