This section describes the battery and battery charger
safety for your battery product.

products and only charge them in an original battery QC
charger from Husqvarna. The batteries are software

Battery safety
The rechargeable Husqvarna batteries, BLi, are
exclusively used as a power supply for the relevant
Husqvarna cordless appliances. To avoid injury, the
battery must not be used as a power source for other
devices. (Figure 2)
WARNING! Protect the battery from
!
direct sunlight, heat or open flame. There
is a risk the battery may explode if it is
thrown into an open fire. There is a risk of
burns and/or chemical burns.
WARNING! Avoid all skin contact with
!
battery acid. Battery acid may cause skin
irritation, burns or corrosive injuries. If
you get acid in your eyes, do not rub but
flush your eyes with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. See a doctor. You must
wash any exposed skin with copious
amounts of water and soap in case of
incidental contact.
WARNING! Never connect the battery
!
terminal to keys, coins, screws or other
metal as this may short-circuit the
battery. Never insert objects into the
battery's air vents.
Unused batteries must be kept away from
metal objects such as nails, coins,
jewellery. Do not try to disassemble or
crush the battery
• Use the battery in surroundings where temperatures
are between -10 °C (14 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
• Do not expose the battery to microwaves or high
pressure.
• Never clean the battery or the battery charger with
water. See also instructions under the heading
Maintenance.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Battery charger safety
Only use Chargers, Husqvarna QC, for charging the
Husqvarna replacement batteries, BLi. (Figure 3)
WARNING! Minimise the risk of electric
!
shock or short circuit as follows:
Never insert any object into the charger's
cooling slots.
Do not try to dismantle the battery
charger.
Never connect the charger terminals to
metal objects as this can short circuit the
battery charger.
Use approved and intact wall sockets.
WARNING! Do not use the battery
!
charger close to corrosive or flammable
materials. Do not cover the battery
charger. Pull out the plug to the battery
charger in the event of smoke or fire.
Remember the risk of fire.
• Regularly check that the battery charger connection
wire is intact and that there are no cracks in it.
• Never carry the battery charger using the cord and
never pull out the plug by pulling the cord.
• Use a residual-current device (RCI) for increased
security. A residual-current device is fitted to protect
operators in case an electrical fault should occur.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have
three-prong grounding plugs and grounding
receptacles that accept the appliance's plug.
• Keep all cords and extension cords away from water,
oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord is not
pinched in doors, fences or the like. Otherwise it can
cause the object to become live. Inspect extensions
cords periodically and replace if damaged.
Do not use:
• a faulty or damaged battery charger or never use a
faulty, damaged or deformed battery. (Figure 4)
Do not charge:
• non-rechargeable batteries in the battery charger or
use them in the machine.
• the battery in the battery charger outdoors.
• the battery in the rain or in wet conditions.
• the battery in direct sunlight.
