4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the cordless
tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging
and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for
days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been
more than 12 months since the last time they were charged.
There is a high probability that the battery pack has already
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9.
Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat
during the charging process, as the battery cells may have
suffered dangerous damage.
11.
Do not use batteries that have suffered swelling or
deformation or those that exhibit other atypical symptoms
(gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
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
vapors and flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry
conditions and at an ambient temperature of 41ºF – 105°F
(5°C – 40.5°C).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature may reach over 105°F (40.5°C). In particular,
do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in
the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result
in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work
with batteries that have been overheated – replace them
immediately, if possible.
7. Store the battery pack, charger and your cordless tool
only in dry locations with an ambient temperature of 41ºF
– 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C). Protect the battery pack, charger
and cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight. Only
place fully charged batteries in storage (charged to at least
40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than
60 minutes must be discarded.
9.
When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the electronic
protection system and the battery cells. To avoid
electrostatic discharges, never touch the battery terminals.
