but take it to a suitable workshop.
When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the mains power
and from the battery.
Never insert pointed objects (such as ballpoint pens, sewing or
knitting needles, paper clips etc.) into the ventilation slots or other
openings in the device; there is a risk of a potentially fatal electric
shock and of destroying the device.
Never place any objects or containers with liquid (such as vases,
glasses, bottles) on or next to the charger or to the connected
battery. Liquid that gets into the device can destroy both the
charger and any battery that is connected, in addition to which
there is a risk of a potentially fatal electric shock!
Malfunction – instructions
If the device does not function, check the following points:
1. Is the socket working properly and providing electrical power?
2. Is the lead battery that is connected faulty or heavily discharged?
3. Has the charger been connected to the lead battery with the
correct polarity?
In order to avoid damage to the battery, it is essential to make sure
that it is never discharged too deeply.
Hazards – instructions
Risk from wrong polarity, short circuits and contact with battery
acid – it is essential that the safety warnings from the manufacturer
of the lead batteries are observed. Important: Battery acid is highly
corrosive. Treat any acid spills on your skin of clothing with soapy
water immediately, and rinse with plenty of water. If acid splashes
get into your eyes, flush immediately with a lot of water and see a
doctor quickly.
