Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design
of every battery pack to ensure that we supply
you with batteries which feature maximum
power density, durability and safety. The battery
cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its
electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
These data are then used exclusively to be able
to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling
batteries. The following points must be
obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if
undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.
Caution!
Analyses con
fi
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 59°F (15°C) and charged 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
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open
fi
re.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi
re.
7.
Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. 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 externally.
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
inside the battery may have su
ff
ered serious
damage. In this respect, please also read the
waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack su
ff
ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
o
ff
will switch o
ff
the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-o
ff
has
actuated. This may damage the battery.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a
fi
re 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
fi
tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
after you have
fi
nished 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 di
ff
erent mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a quali
fi
ed
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
temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7.
Do not over-charge batteries.
Do not
