6. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts
. This will ensure that your elec-
tric tool remains safe to use.
b) Never perform maintenance work on da-
maged rechargeable batteries.
All mainte-
nance work on rechargeable batteries should
only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized after sales service outlets.
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 den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac-
teristic 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 exer-
cised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama-
ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can
cause cell damage.
Important:
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 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 require-
ments 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 exhaustive
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 over-
loads.
Overloads will quickly result in over-
heating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
9.
Avoid damage and shocks.
Replace batte-
ries 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 rea-
sons.
Important.
Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-o
ff
has
actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosi-
on 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 bat-
teries which have been exposed to moisture,
rain or high humidity – replace them immedia-
tely.
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 con-
nect 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
