ies can cause injury and explosion.
Never short-circuit the batteries, i.e. never touch both poles simultaneous-

ly, especially with metal objects.
Only use the mains adapter supplied with the appliance for charging the re-

chargeable batteries. Never charge the batteries with another mains adapter.
Only use the mains adapter supplied with the appliance for charging the bat-
teries of this appliance.
Never dismantle the batteries.

Wrong use can cause fluid to leak from the batteries. This can cause skin

irritations. Avoid any contact with the fluid. If fluid gets onto your skin, wash it
away with lots of water. If the fluid comes into contact with your eyes, immedi-
ately rinse them with water for 10 minutes and consult a doctor.
If it becomes necessary to replace the batteries, contact a specialist dealer


by no means replace the batteries with batteries of a different type. We as-
sume no liability for any damage resulting from improperly replaced batteries.
