switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
•
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
•
Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge non-rechargeable batteries.
•
Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to con-
nect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
•
Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables or plugs repaired without delay by a
qualified electrician.
•
This battery charger is not designed to be
used by people (including children) with limi-
ted physical, sensory or mental capacities or
those with no experience and/or knowledge
unless they are supervised by a person who is
responsible for their safety or they have recei-
ved instructions from such a person in how to
use the equipment safely.
•
Children must always be supervised in order
to ensure that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
•
Do not use damaged battery chargers.
•
Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
•
In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.
•
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.
•
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 dange-
rous damage (exhaustive discharge).
•
Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fire.
•
Do not use batteries which have heated du-
ring the charging process, as the battery cells
may have suffered dangerous damage.
•
Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym-
ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
•
Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-
commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
•
Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental infl uences
•
Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
•
Protect your cordless tool and the bat-
tery charger from moisture and rain.
Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell
damage.
•
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
•
Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe-
rature of 10-40°C.
•
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.
•
Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with bat-
teries which have been overheated – replace
them immediately if possible.
•
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
