IMPORTANT!
Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more
if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other
batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an
explosion.
Information about the charger 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 cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without
delay by a qualified technician at an authorized
customer service center.
3. Electrical plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded appliances. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack(s) and the
cordless tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will
become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before inserting it into the charger to
recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the
maximum charging times. These charging times only
apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a
charged or partially charged battery pack will result in
overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in
the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has
been more than 12 months since the last time they were
charged. There is a high probability that the battery
pack has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 50
℉
(10
℃
)
will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause
a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to
heat during charging process, as the battery cells
may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries that have suffered curvature
or deformation during the charging process or
those that exhibit other atypical symptoms
(gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum
recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A
complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to
premature aging of the battery cells.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger
from
moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can
cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger
near vapors and flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in
dry conditions and at an ambient temperature of
50-104
℉
(10-40
℃
).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature is liable to reach over 104
℉
(40
℃
).In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car
that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will
result in overheating and cell damage. Never
charge or work with batteries that have been
overheated-replace them immediately, if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of
50-104
℉
(10-40
℃
). Store your lithium-ion
battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature
of 50-68
℉
(10-00
℃
). Protect the battery pack,
charger and cordless tool from humidity and direct
sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in
storage (charge to at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing.
Battery
packs
that
were
stored
below
32
℉
(0
℃
)for more than 60 minutes must be
discarded.
