ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACK
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery performance, always charge the battery when the temperature is
between 18~24°C. Do not charge and store your battery in temperatures below 0°C and above 40°C. Failure to obser-
ve this safety rule could cause serious damage to the battery pack.
Do not discard the battery pack in a fire under any circumstances. The battery pack can explode. If leaking battery fluid
comes into contact with the skin, wash the affected area immediately with soap and water. The fluid can be neutrali-
sed by using a mild acidic substance, such as lemon juice or vinegar. In the event of contact with the eyes rinse with
clean water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical advice immediately. Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
Do not attempt to open the battery pack under any circumstances. If the plastic housing around the battery pack breaks
or exhibits any cracks, stop using the battery pack immediately and do not charge it again. The battery pack should be
disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with the relevant requirements.
Do not keep a spare battery in your pocket or store it in a tool box. Make sure that the poles do not come into contact
with any metal objects during transport. Such objects can short and damage the battery pack, as well as result in burns
or a fire. When storing or disposing of the battery pack tape over the contacts using thick insulating tape to prevent it
from short-circuiting. Batteries that are stored for a prolonged period of time become discharged. Do not store or use
the tool and the battery pack in areas where the temperature reaches, or exceeds, 50 °C.
Do not subject the battery pack to any mechanical loads / processes.
The battery should not be located in close proximity to open flames, ovens or other high temperature areas. Do not
expose the battery to direct sunlight and do not use or leave it in a vehicle during hot weather. This can result in the
development of heat or to the battery exploding or igniting. Such use of the battery can also lead to reduced perfor-
mance and a shorter service life.
If you intend to store a battery for a period without use then store battery at room temperature (18°C to 24°C),charged
to about 30 – 50% of capacity. In case of extended periods of storage, charge the battery once a year to avoid deep
discharge.
After charging the battery pack allow it to cool down. Do not leave it in warm areas or in direct sunlight.
Only charge the battery with the charger supplied.
