switch off the equipment for safety reasons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if
the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a
fire risk.
12. Protect your rechargeable battery against moisture, rain and high humidity.
Moisture, rain and high humidity can cause dangerous cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been exposed to moisture, rain or high humidity – replace them immediately.
13. If your equipment is fitted with a detachable battery, remove the battery for safety reasons after
you have finished your work
Information on chargers and the charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the
battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a
different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables
repaired without delay by a qualified electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room tempera-
ture before commencing with the charging.
7. 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.
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 dange-
rous 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 sunshine.

10. Faults
The equipment does not work
• Check that the battery is charged (push button „B“ on the battery) and whether the charging unit
is working.
• Check that the rechargeable battery is pushed fully into the battery mount and is locked in posi-
tion. If the equipment will not work in spite of the voltage supply being OK, please send it to the
customer service address below.
For EU countries only
Never place any electric power tools in your household refuse.
To comply with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning old electric and electronic equipment
and its implementation in national laws, old electric power tools have to be separated from other
