Use the Battery Charger correctly
 Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery
charger before attempting to charge the battery.
 Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than
those supplied.

cause a short circuit and block the ventilation holes. Failure to
follow these instructions may result in overheating or fire.
 Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy
use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating
or fire.

the batteries. If a charger is suitable for a certain kind of battery
there is a risk of fire. Only use Li-Ion batteries provided with a
product or specifically designed to be compatible.

Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
 Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable be-
haviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
 If the charger connection cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, an authorised service workshop or a spe-
cialist before use.
