knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have the
charger checked and repaired by an authorised service centre.
Additional safety warnings for battery packs
>Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any other
charger than the one supplied. The charger and battery pack
supplied with it are specifically designed to work together.
>Charge and store the battery pack in an ambient temperature
of 18 - 24°C (65 - 75°F) to ensure the longest battery life and
best performance. Do not charge or store the battery pack
in temperatures below 0°C (32°F) and above 45°C (113°F).
>Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the
plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks,
immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
>Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket or
toolbox or any other place where it may come into contact
with metal objects. The battery pack may be short-circuited
causing damage to the battery pack, burns or a fire.
>Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery
pack with a hammer, step on the battery or otherwise subject
it to strong impacts or shocks.
>Protect the battery pack against heat. Do not place the battery
pack in direct sunlight or use or store the battery pack inside
cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery pack to
generate heat, explode or ignite.
>Never try to charge a battery pack that is cracked or damaged
in any other way. There is a danger of electric shock or
electrocution.
