6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES
AND CHARGERS
6.1
Batteries
Never attempt to open for any reason.
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.
When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section
"Protecting the environment".
Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic
objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing
heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.
Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating
separators and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in
electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation
causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire,
explosion and/or intense burning may result.
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid
on the battery, proceed as follows:
Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar.
In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10
minutes. Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached
battery. Do not incinerate the battery.
6.2
Chargers
Use the charger provided with the tool only to charge the battery
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Have defective cords replaced immediately.
Do not expose to water.
Do not open the charger.
Do not probe the charger.
The charger is intended for indoor use only.
