Use only recommended attachments-
Use of an attachment
not recommended or sold by the battery charger or battery
pack manufacturer may result in risk of fire, electric shock or
personal injury.
·
Unplug charger when not in use-
Make sure to remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or
maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger.
·
Do not burn or incinerate battery packs-
Battery packs may
exploded, causing personal injury or damage. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when battery packs are burned.
·
Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs-
Do not use the
battery pack or charger if they have sustained a sharp blow,
been dropped, run over or have been damaged in any way(i.e.
Pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped on, etc.
·
Do not disassemble
– Incorrect reassembly may pose a
serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged,
contact an authorized customer service center for
assistance.
·
Battery chemicals cause serious burns
– Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth. If a
damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use rubber
or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin is
exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with soap
and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed to
battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for 20
minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and dispose
of contaminated clothing.
·
Do not short circuit
– A battery pack will short circuit if a
metal object makes a connection between the positive and
negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place a
battery pack near anything that may cause a short circuit,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails and other
metallic objects. A short-circuited battery pack poses a
risk of fire and severe personal injury.
·
Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place-
Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 104
℉
(40
℃
), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Information about the batter
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
pressure washer is only partially charged. The
battery pack has to be charged completely before
you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low
discharge cycles by charging the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at
59
℉
(15
℃
) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
aging 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 requirements needed for the proper
operation of your pressure washer, and therefore
pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as
this poses a risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
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
partially 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 overloads.
Overloads will quickly result in overheating and
cell damage inside the battery housing even if
this overheating is not apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace
batteries that have been dropped from a height of
more than 3 feet (1m) or those that have been
exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of
the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The
battery cells inside the battery may have suffered
serious damage. In such instances, please read
the waste disposal information for proper battery
disposal.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will
switch off the equipment for safety reasons.
