from escaping electrolytic so-
lution! After eye/skin contact,
rinse the affected areas with
water or a neutraliser and
consult a doctor.

only.
Prior to attaching the charger, check
that the battery‘s outer surface is
clean and dry.
There is a risk of injury due to elec-
tric shock.
Only use the original charger from
the package to charge the battery.
Mind not to charge the appliance
for more than 5 hours at a time. If
you do, the battery and the appli-
ance may be damaged and longer
charging times would be a waste
of energy. Excessive charging will
void the warranty.
• Charge the battery before the first
time of use. Do not briefly charge
the battery several time in a row.
• Recharge the battery when you no-
tice that the appliance is becoming
slower.
• If a fully recharged battery lasts
for considerably shorter operating
times, the battery is used up and
needs to be replaced. Only use an
OEM spare battery available from
our Customer Service.
• Always take heed of the applicable
safety instructions as well as the en-
vironmental protection regulations
and information.
• The warranty excludes all defects
caused by improper handling.
