Battery Safety

• Ensure the switch is in the 'off' position and the key removed before inserting the
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into a machine while the key is inserted could result in an
accident.
• Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. Water penetration inside the battery
charger increases the risk of an electric shock. Store in a dry environment.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Do not charge other batteries with this charger. This is could cause fire or an explosion.
• Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.
• Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected,
do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs
performed only by a qualified technician and only using original spare parts. Damaged
battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable surfaces (e. g. paper, textiles,
etc.) or surroundings. The heating of the battery charger during the charging process could
pose a fire hazard.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could create a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together can cause
burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery. Avoid any contact with
this liquid. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, also
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritations or burns.
• Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
•
Protect the battery from heat, e. g. from continuous intense sunlight, fire or other heat source.
Danger of explosion.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. There is danger of explosion.
• In case of damage or improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Ensure the
area is well ventilated and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate
the respiratory system.
• Protect the battery against moisture and water. Store in a dry environment. Make sure it's out
of reach of children.
•
Store the battery only within a temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. For example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
