Battery/Battery charger safety warnings
Protect the battery charger from rain and moisture. The penetration of water in a battery
charger increases the risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is suitable only for charging lithium ion
batteries of POWEG4500. Otherwise danger, fire and explosion may occur.
Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination may cause the danger of electric shock.
Check the battery charger, cable and plug each time before using. Do not use the battery
charger when defects are detected. Do not open the battery charger yourself and have it
repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers,
cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e. g. paper, textiles,
etc.) or in combustible environments. There is danger of fire due to the heating of the
battery charger during charging.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not open the battery yourself. There is danger of a short circuit.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., including against continuous sun irradiation and fire.
There is a danger of explosion.
Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a danger of explosion.
