spare parts. This poses a risk of re and explosion. Damaged chargers,
cables and plugs also increase the risk of electric shock.
The charger is only intended to be used indoors. Keep the charger
away from rain and moisture. Do not use it on a damp surface. If water
gets into the charger there is a risk of electric shock. If water has
penetrated the casing, unplug the device immediately and have it
checked out by your dealer. Condensation might form on the charger
when the temperature suddenly changes from cold to warm. When this
happens, wait about an hour. This is the time a charger needs to reach
the temperature of the warm surroundings. Prevent this happening by
storing the charger where it is used.
The charger and battery may not be covered during the charging
process. Do not use the charger and battery on materials which can

40 degrees. The charger heat generated during the charge process
represents a risk of re. When the temperature is higher than 85˚C,
or there is smoke or an unusual smell, immediately unplug the mains
connector of the charger from the socket and disconnect the battery
from the charger. An overheated battery is damaged and may not be
used again. Always stay with the charger when it is in use.

causing severe burns and res. Further consequences can include
malfunctions and a reduced service life. Ensure there is adequate
ventilation for charging.
IMPORTANT
The mains voltage must match the supply voltage of the battery
charger, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the device. The supply
voltage for the charger is specied on the label on the back of the
device.
Do not charge batteries for a long period if they are already fully
charged or are not being used. Electrical storms, voltage uctuations
and short circuits can damage the battery.
Keep the battery charger clean. If the contacts are dirty, the dirt can
burn during charging, leaving burn marks. The charger may need to be
replaced in such cases  6.4.1 Cleaning Page EN-47.
