please also read the waste disposal
information.
If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-
off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Important. Do not press the
ON/OFF switch any more if the protective
cut-off has actuated. This may damage the
battery pack.
Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries,
explosion and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
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.
Protect the battery charger and its cable
from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a
qualified electrician.
This battery charger is not designed to be
used by people (including children) with
limited physical, sensory or mental
capacities or those with no experience
and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person who is responsible
for their safety or they have received
instructions from such a person in how to
use the equipment safely.
Children must always be supervised in
order to ensure that they do not play with
the equipment.
Do not use damaged battery chargers.
Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to
room temperature before commencing with
the charging.
Do not over-charge batteries.
Do not exceed the maximum charging
times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a
charged or partly charged battery pack will
result in over-charging and cell damage. Do
not leave batteries in the charger for days
on end.
Never use or charge batteries if you
suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months
previously. There is a high probability that
the battery pack has already suffered
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fire.
Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the battery
cells may have suffered dangerous
damage.
Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the
charging process or which show other non-
typical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking,…)
Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%) A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the
battery cells.
Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
Protect your cordless tool and the
battery charger from moisture and rain.
Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell
damage.
Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable
liquids.
Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 10-40°C.
Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach
over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.
Protect batteries from overheating.
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to
direct sunlight will result in overheating and
cell damage. Never charge or work with
batteries which have been overheated –
