3.2 Lithium ion battery pack
The battery pack pack is very light,
but with very high charging capacity.
Proper charging and protection against
deep discharge and overheating will
significantly increase the service life. A
corresponding charge controller, which
takes into account all these require-
ments, is therefore already integrated in the supplied charger. This ensures
an optimum and safe function. Therefore only this charger may be used to
charge the battery pack.
Danger of fire and blazes
Improper charging of the battery pack can lead to excessive heating of
the battery pack. A fire or blaze is a possible consequence.
• Only the supplied charger may be used to charge the battery pack. The
charger is intended for indoor use only.
• Before connecting the charger to the mains, be sure to check that the
mains voltage matches the voltage of the charger. The charging
voltage of the charger is indicated on the rating plate on the
back of the device.
• Only charge the battery pack in a dry and non-flammable environment
and, if possible, do not leave it unattended.
Mechanical damage to the battery pack or charger may cause malfuncti-
on and short circuiting. A fire or blaze is a possible consequence!
• Any manipulation of the battery pack case or charger is prohibited.
• Replace damaged battery pack immediately and dispose of it in an
orderly manner.
Danger of electric shock
A charger with a damaged power plug or power cable may cause an
electric shock.
• Never connect damaged mains plugs or power cables to the electrical
mains.
• Immediately replaced damaged electrical assemblies and cables.
• Ingress of water and moisture into the charger must be avoided in all
cases. If water has penetrated, disconnect the charger immediately
from the mains and have it checked by your specialist dealer.
• If the temperature changes suddenly from cold to warm, condensation
may form on the charger. In such a case, wait until it has reached the
temperature of the warm room by connecting the appliance to the
electrical mains. Keep the charger in the place where it is operated.
