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
vapors 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 sun.
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 immediately 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.
Disposal of batteries
Batteries contain substances harmful to the environment.
Never place batteries in your household refuse, in fire or in
water. Batteries should be collected, recycled or disposed of
in an environmentally friendly way. Seek advice on correct
disposal from local waste authorities.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools,
always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic
bags to prevent short circuits and fires.
Do not lose this safety information.
