Use and handling of the battery
(battery pack)
These safety warnings apply only for 18V
FEIN AMPShare lithium-ion batteries.
Use the battery only in AMPShare partner
products.
18V batteries marked with AMP-
Share are fully compatible with the follow-
ing products:
–
All products of the FEIN-18V-AMPShare
system
–
All 18V products from AMPShare part-
ners.
When working with and charging incorrect,
damaged, repaired or reconditioned batter-
ies, imitations or other brands, there is dan-
ger of fire and/or explosion.
Observe the battery recommendations in the
operating instructions for your product.
Only in this way can the battery and the
product be operated safely, and the batteries
are protected from dangerous overload.
Only charge the batteries with chargers rec-
ommended by FEIN or one of the AMPShare
partners.
A charger that is suitable one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
The battery is supplied partially charged.
To
ensure full battery capacity, completely
charge the battery in the battery charger
before using for the first time.
Store batteries out of the reach of children.
Batteries must not be disassembled, opened
or reduced in size. Do not subject batteries
to mechanical impact or shock.
Hazardous
vapors and fluid can escape in case of dam-
age and improper use of the battery. The
vapors can irritate the respiratory system.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
skin irritations or burns.
In case of skin contact with battery fluid,
rinse immediately with plenty of water. In
case of eye contact with battery fluid, wash
out the eye with clean water and immedi-
ately seek a doctor for treatment!
When the battery fluid has come into con-
tact with objects close by, check the respec-
tive components. Avoid skin contact by
wearing protective gloves. Clean the parts
with dry household paper or replace the
parts if necessary.
Escaping vapors can irri-
tate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause skin irritations
or burns.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Keep the
battery not being used away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Short-
ing the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
The battery can be damaged by sharp
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
external force.
An internal short-circuit may
occur and the battery can burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
Never maintain damaged batteries.
Any
maintenance of batteries should be per-
formed only by the manufacturer or by
authorised after-sales service centers.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, debris, water, and moisture.
Dan-
ger of explosion and short-circuiting.
Operate and store the battery only at ambi-
ent temperatures between -20 °C and
+50 °C.
As an example, do not leave the bat-
tery in a vehicle in summer. At temperatures
< 0 °C, machine-specific performance
restrictions are possible.
Charge the battery only at ambient temper-
atures between 0 °C and +35 °C. Charge the
battery via USB connection only at ambient
temperatures b10 °C and +35 °C.
Charging the battery outside the tempera-
ture range may damage the battery or
increase the risk of fire.
Handle discharged batteries with care. Bat-
teries are a source of danger, as they can
cause a very high short-circuit current.
Even
when Li-ion batteries appear to be in a dis-
charged state, they never fully discharge.
