Putting into operation
The charger and battery are specifi cally designed to work together. DO NOT ATTEMPT to charge
the battery in a different charger than the charger specifi ed in this user's manual.
Do not expose the charger to rain or snow.
This charger is not designed for any use other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use
may lead to a fi re or serious or fatal injury by electrical shock.
In order to limit the risk of damaging the power plug or cable, always disconnect by pulling on the
plug and not the cable.
Make sure that the cable is not placed in such a way that it is stepped on, tripped over or that it is
not damaged or otherwise exposed to stress.
The charger is ventilated by slot openings located in the top and bottom part of the charger. Do not
place any items on the top part of the charger and do not place the charger on such surfaces, which
could block these openings, which would lead to excessive temperatures inside the charger. Keep
the charger at a suffi cient distance from sources of heat.
Do not use the charger if it has been impacted by something, or if it has fallen or been damaged in
any other way.
Do not disassemble the charger. Have the charger maintained or repaired at an authorised service centre or
the vendor. Incorrectly performed assembly may lead to a fi re or serious or fatal injury by electrical shock.
In order to limit the risk of injury by electrical shock, always disconnect the charger from the mains
power socket before cleaning it. Taking the battery out of the charger does not lower this risk.
Never attempt to connect two chargers to one another.
DO NOT PLACE or use the tool in places where the temperature may reach or exceed 40 °C
(places in a garage or metal buildings in the summer period).
The charger is designed to be used with a standard domestic power voltage (230 V). Do not
attempt to use any other power voltage!
Important safety instructions for batteries
The battery is fully charged on delivery. First read the safety instructions below and follow the
instruction and charging procedures.
CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND STORE THEM FOR FUTURE USE.
1. Do not burn the battery even if it is seriously damaged or completely worn out. The battery could
explode in the fi re.
2. During demanding work or at high temperatures there may be small leaks of fl uid from the battery
cells. In this case it is not a defect. However if the external seal is breached and the fl uid comes in
contact with your skin, do the following:
Quickly wash yourself with soap and water.
Neutralise the affected area with a weak acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
If the battery fl uid gets into your eyes, fl ush out your eyes at least for several minutes with clean
water and immediately seek medical treatment (information for doctors: the fl uid is a 25 - 35 %
potassium hydroxide solution)
3. Do not bridge the cathode and the anode battery contacts with metal objects. This could short
circuit the battery, which could destroy the battery or cause burns or a fi re.
4. Charge the battery only in the charger supplied with this product.
5. NOTE: This tool uses a Li-Ion type battery, which does not self-discharge and does not have
a memory effect.
