that the battery pack has already suff ered 
dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9.  Charging batteries at a temperature below 
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to 
the cell and may cause a fi re.
10.  Do not use batteries which have heated 
during the charging process, as the battery 
cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.
11.  Do not use batteries which have suff ered 
curvature or deformation during the charging 
process or which show other non-typical 
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12.  Never fully discharge the battery pack 
(recommended depth of discharge max. 
80%) A complete discharge of the battery 
pack will lead to premature ageing of the 
battery cells.
13.  Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental infl uences
1.  Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety 
goggles.
2.  Protect your cordless tool and the battery 
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture 
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3.  Do not use the cordless tool or the battery 
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.
4.  Use the battery charger and cordless tools 
only in dry conditions and an ambient 
temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
5.  Do not keep the battery charger in places 
where the temperature is liable to reach over 
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery 
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6.  Protect batteries from overheating. 
Overloads, over-charging and exposure to 
direct sunlight will result in overheating and 
cell damage. Never charge or work with 
batteries which have been overheated – 
replace them immediately if possible.
7.  Storage of batteries, battery chargers 
and cordless tools. Store the charger and 
your cordless tool only in dry places with an 
ambient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C 
to 40°C). Store the lithium-ion rechargeable 
battery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F 
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity 
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged 
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).
8.  Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from 
freezing. Battery packs which were stored 
below 32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes 
must be disposed of.
9.  When handling batteries beware of 
electrostatic charge: Electrostatic discharges 
cause damage of the electronic protection 
system and the battery cells. Avoid 
electrostatic charging and never touch the 
battery poles.
Battery Caution + Disposal
Disposal
Should your appliance need replacement after 
extended use, do not dispose of it with the 
household refuse, but in an environmentally safe 
way.
Waste produced by electrical machine 
items should not be handled like normal 
household rubbish. Please recycle where 
recycle facilities exist. Check with your local 
authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Always dispose of your battery pack according 
to federal, state, and local regulations. Contact 
a recycling agency in your area for recycling 
locations.
 CAUTION! Even discharged battery packs 
contain some energy. Before disposing, use 
electrical tape to cover the terminals to prevent 
the battery pack from shorting, which could cause 
a fi re or explosion.
 WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or 
explosion, never burn or incinerate a battery 
pack even if it is damaged, dead, or completely 
discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and 
materials are emitted into the surrounding 
atmosphere.
1.  Batteries vary according to device. Consult 
your manual for specifi c information.
2.  Install only new batteries of the same type in 
your product (where applicable).
3.  Failure to insert batteries in the correct 
polarity, as indicated in the battery 
compartment or manual, may shorten the life 
of the batteries or cause batteries to leak.
4.  Do not mix old and new batteries.
5.  Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc), 
or Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel 
Metal Hydride, or Lithium-Ion) batteries.
6.  Do not dispose of batteries in fi re. 
7.  Batteries should be recycled or disposed of 
as per state and local guidelines.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and 
cordless tools, always ensure that they are 
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent 
short circuits and fi res.
