The charger is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the char-
ger by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not abuse cord or charger. Never use the cord to carry the charger. Do not pull the charger cord rather than the plug
when disconnecting from receptacle. Damage to the cord or charger could occur and create an electric shock hazard.
Replace damaged power cords without delay. Do not let gasoline, oils, petroleum-based products, etc. come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
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 observe
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 neutralised 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 any medical perso-
nnel that this fluid is a 25 - 35 percent potassium hydroxide solution.
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. When storing for very long periods boost-charge the battery once per year to prevent
overdischarge.
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.
