We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded. This data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when handling batteries
. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell damage.
Important:
Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to
just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
8.
Protect batteries and the tool from overloads.
Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing
without this overheating actually being apparent externally.
9.
Avoid damage and shocks.
Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the
battery may have suffered serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
Important.
Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a fire risk
Information on chargers and the charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with
the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualified
electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries.
Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the
charger for days on end.
8.
Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously.
There is
a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead
to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2.
Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain
. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapours and inflammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and an ambient temperature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to reach over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6.
Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been overheated – replace them immediate if possible.
7.
Storage of batteries, battery chargers and cordless tools.
Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs which were stored below 0°C for more than 60 minutes must be
disposed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges cause damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.
Rechargeable batteries and cordless electric machines and tools contain materials that are potentially harmful to the environment. Never
place any cordless electric machines or tools in your household refuse. When cordless electric machines or tools become defective
