Additional Instructions For Work With The Battery Pack - Sparky Group BR 9,6E Instruction Manual

▪ To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug
the charger from the power supply before at-
tempting to clean it. Removing the battery alone
does not reduce the risk.
▪ Never attempt to connect two chargers togeth-
er.
▪ Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds,
trailers or metal structures during summer.
▪ The charger is designed for use from a stand-
ard household electrical supply (230–240V).
Do not attempt to connect the charger to a sup-
ply with a different supply.
▪ If you wish to charge a second battery pack,
unplug the charger from the mains supply and
leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time
you can charge a second battery pack.
▪ Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-up
of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no bat-
tery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
▪ Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or
any other liquid.
VI - Additional instructions
for work with the
battery pack
▪ The battery pack for this tool has been shipped
in a low charge condition. You should charge
the battery pack fully before use.
CAUtIoN: If the battery pack is cracked
or damaged in any other way, do not insert it
in the charger. There is a danger of electric
shock.
▪ To ensure the longest battery life and best bat-
tery performance, always charge the battery
when the air temperature is between 18–24°C.
Do not charge the battery pack when the tem-
perature is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is
important. Failure to observe this safety rule
could cause serious damage to the battery

pack.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become
warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery
packs in direct sunlight in hot weather or near
heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The battery must be placed in a well venti-
lated area during charging
▪ A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack
cells may occur under extreme usage or tem-
perature conditions. This does not indicate a
failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
Wash quickly with soap and water.
Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes
and seek immediate medical attention.
(medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a
lamp or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is ap-
proximately 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send
the tool, battery pack and charger to your local
service centre.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs, which
were easily done previously. DO NOT CON-
TINUE to use under these conditions. Follow
the charging procedure.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
seriously damaged or can no longer hold a
charge. The battery pack can explode in a fire.
▪ To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after
use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a metal shed,
or an uninsulated trailer.
CAUtIoN: Never attempt to open the
battery pack for any reason. If the plastic hous-
ing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return
to a service centre for recycling.
