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
temperature 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 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.
