v
These safety warnings apply only for lithium-ion batteries of the
POWER FOR ALL system PBA 18V.
v
Only use the battery with products of the POWER FOR ALL system
manufacturers. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
v
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
v
The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before
using your power tool for the first time.
v
Keep battery packs out of the reach of children.
v
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
v
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. The battery can set alight or explode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you expe-
rience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
v
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may
be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoid-
ed. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid
comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
v
If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected and cover nearby sur-
faces. Check affected parts. Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
v
Do not short-circuit the battery pack. When the battery pack is not in
use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
v
The battery contacts can be hot after use. Be careful of the hot contacts
when removing the battery.
v
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may
occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
v
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should
only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
v
Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against continuous intense
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v
Only operate and store the battery at an ambient temperature
between – 20 °C and + 50 °C.
Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for example.
At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices may experience a loss of power.
v
Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature which is between
0 °C and + 45 °C. Charging outside of this temperature range can increase
the risk of damage to the battery and pose a fire hazard.
v
After use, allow the battery to cool down for at least 30 minutes before
charging or storing.
