Safety instructions for the battery
charger
Keep the battery charger away from rain or
moisture. Penetration of water in the
battery charger increases the risk of an
electric shock.
Keep the battery charger clean.
Contamination can lead to danger of an
electric shock.
Before each use, check the battery
charger, cable and plug. If damage is
detected, do not use the battery charger.
Never open the battery charger yourself.
Have repairs performed only by a qualified
technician and only using original spare
parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables
and plugs increase the risk of an electric
shock.
Do not place any objects on the battery
charger and do not place the battery
charger on soft surfaces.
There is a risk of fire.
Always check that the mains voltage
matches the voltage indicated on the
rating plate of the battery charger.
Never use the charger if cable, plug or the
unit itself has been damaged by external
influences. Take the charger to the nearest
service centre.
Never open the battery charger. If the
battery charger is defective, take it to a
service centre.
Safety instructions for Li-ion
batteries
Do not open the battery.
There is a risk of a short-circuit.
Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from
continuous exposure to sunlight, fire,
water and humidity.
There is a risk of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate
the area and seek medical help in case of
complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
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.
Use only original batteries with the
voltage indicated on the rating plate of
your electric power tool. If other batteries
are used, e.g. imitations, reconditioned
batteries or third-party products, there is a
risk of injuries as well as damage caused
by exploding batteries.
The battery voltage must match the
battery charging voltage of the battery
charger. Otherwise there is a risk of fire
and explosion.
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.
Pointed objects, such as nails or screw-
drivers, or external forces may damage
the battery. This may cause an internal
short-circuit and the battery to burn,
smoke, explode or overheat.
