Storage

NOTE
The nominal energy of the rechargeable
battery is more than 100 Wh. Therefore,
observe the following transport instruc-
tions.
The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the
appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law,
but can be transported under simplified condi-
tions:
■
The rechargeable battery can be transported
on public roads by the private user without
further conditions provided it is packaged for
retail sale and the transport serves personal
purposes.
■
Commercial users who carry out the trans-
port in connection with their main activity
(e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or
demonstrations) can also take advantage of
this simplification.
In both cases, it is essential to take the mandato-
ry precautions mentioned above to prevent any
leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is es-
sential to comply with the regulations of the haz-
ardous goods law. In the case of non-compli-
ance, severe penalties can be imposed on the
sender and possibly the transporter.
Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or send the li-ion rechargeable
battery in an undamaged condition.
■
For transporting the rechargeable battery, on-
ly use the original cardboard box or a suitable
hazardous goods cardboard box (not re-
quired for rechargeable batteries with a nomi-
nal energy less than 100 Wh).
■
Tape off exposed rechargeable battery con-
tacts to avoid a short circuit.
■
Secure the rechargeable battery against
shifting in the packaging to avoid damage to
the rechargeable battery.
■
Ensure the correct marking and documenta-
tion of the shipment for transport or shipping
(e.g. by parcel service or freight forwarding).
■
Check in advance that transport with the se-
lected service provider is possible and indi-
cate the shipment.
We recommend involving a hazardous goods
specialist in preparation of the shipment. Also
heed any further national regulations.
