• Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a
different mains voltage.
• Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp
edges. Have damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualified
electrician.
• Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of
children‘s reach.
• Do not use damaged battery chargers.
• Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless
tools.
• In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery
pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the
charging.
• Do not over-charge batteries.
Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times
apply only to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell
damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
• Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time
they were charged was more than 12 months previously. There
is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered cell
damage as a result of complete battery discharge.
• Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause chemical
damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
• Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process,
as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
• Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or deformation
during the charging process or which show other non-typical
symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
• 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.
• Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
