Careful handling and use of
battery devices
Charge the batteries only
•
in chargers that are rec-
ommended by the manu-
facturer. Risk of fire if a
charger that is suitable for a
specific type of battery is used
with other batteries.
In the power tools, use
•
only the batteries de-
signed for the purpose. The
use of other batteries may result
in injuries and risk of fire.
Keep the unused battery
•
away from paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal ob-
jects, which could cause
bridging of the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or
fire.
If used incorrectly, liquid
•
may leak from the bat-
tery. Avoid contact with
this. In the event of ac-
cidental contact, rinse off
with water. If the liquid gets
into eyes, seek medical assis-
tance. Leaking battery fluid may
cause skin irritations or burns.
Do not use damaged or
•
altered batteries. Damaged
or altered batteries can be un-
predictable and lead to fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose batteries to
•
fire or elevated tempera-
tures. Fire or temperatures over
130 °C can cause an explo-
sion.
Follow all instructions
•
18
for charging and never
charge the battery or the
battery-powered tool
outside the temperature
range stated in the oper-
ating instructions. Incorrect
charging or charging outside
the permitted temperature range
may destroy the battery and in-
crease the risk of fire.
Service
• Never repair damaged
batteries. All battery repairs
should be carried out by the
manufacturer or authorised cus-
tomer service centres only.
Special safety directions for
battery-operated tools
Ensure that the device is
•
switched off before insert-
ing the battery. Inserting a
battery into a power tool that is
switched on may result in acci-
dents.
Recharge the batteries
•
indoors only because
the battery charger is
designed for indoor use
only.
To reduce the electric
•
shock hazard, unplug the
battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the
charger.
Do not subject the battery
•
to strong sunlight over
long periods and do not
leave it on a heater. Heat
damages the battery and there
is a risk of explosion.
