rm 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
fi
rst 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 char-
ged 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 re-
quirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open
fi
re. There is a risk of ex-
plosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi
re.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive dischar-
ge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of
exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly di-
scharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of
the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system trig-
gers. 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 exter-
nally.
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
