Safety warnings
or discomfort occurs. The vapours
may cause respiratory irritation.
The lithium-ion rechargeable bat-
■
tery can be recharged at any time
without shortening its lifespan. In-
terrupting the charge cycle will not
damage the rechargeable battery.
When taking out of use for a long
■
time, put the tool away with bat-
tery charged. This will prolong the
life of the lithium-ion rechargeable
battery.
When not in use, keep the
■
rechargeable battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal
objects that could short-circuit
the contacts. Short-circuiting the
rechargeable battery contacts can
cause burns or fire.
Do not short-circuit the recharge-
■
able battery. It could explode.
Make sure the tool is switched
■
off before fitting the rechargeable
battery. Inserting a rechargeable
battery into a power tool that is
switched on can lead to acci-
dents.
Only charge rechargeable batter-
■
ies in chargers recommended by
the manufacturer. A charger suita-
ble for specific rechargeable bat-
teries presents a risk of fire if it is
used for charging other recharge-
able batteries. Only use recharge-
able batteries intended for use
in power tools. The use of other
rechargeable batteries can result
in injuries and the risk of fire.
Protect the rechargeable battery
■
from moisture and water. Charge
the rechargeable battery at a tem-
perature ranging from 0 °C to
45 °C. Do not, for example, leave
the rechargeable battery inside a
car during summer. From time to
time, clean the rechargeable bat-
tery's ventilation slots with a soft,
clean and dry paintbrush.
Transport
The rechargeable battery con-
■
forms to UN manual ST/SG/AC.
10/11/Rev.3 Part III, sub-section
38.3. It is equipped with an effec-
tive means to prevent internal
pressure build-up and short circuit
as well as a means to preclude
violent rupture and dangerous
reverse current flow. The lithium-
equivalent quantity contained in
the rechargeable battery is below
the relevant limit values. Therefore,
the rechargeable battery is not
subject to national or international
dangerous goods regulations ei-
ther as an individual component or
fitted in a device. However, these
regulations may become relevant if
transporting several rechargeable
batteries. In this case, it may be
necessary to observe specific
conditions (e.g. in relation to
packaging).

Using the LS - 36 V charge station
Observe mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must
match the specifications shown on the type plate of your hot air
tool. Tools showing 230 V can also be operated on 220 V.
The charge cycle begins as soon as the charger is plugged in

and the rechargeable battery is inserted
into the charging

slot
.
What the indicators mean
Charge cycle monitoring is signalised by LED indicators
Fast charge mode
The fast charge mode is signalised by the flash-
ing green LED indicator
12
. While charging,
the 3 green LEDs on the rechargeable battery
light up in succession and then briefly go out.
The rechargeable battery is fully charged when
the 3 green LEDs are permanently lit. The 3 green
LEDs go out again about 5 minutes after the recharge-
able battery has been fully charged.
The fast charge mode is only possible when the rechargeable
battery is at a temperature of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
Keep these safety warnings in a
safe place together with the tool.
