Assembly - Gardena PowerMax Li-40/41 Operator's Manual

WARNING! Risk of explosion!
Protect batteries from heat and fire. Do not leave on
radiators or expose to strong sunshine for long periods.
Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in
the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Batteries may create sparks which could ignite the dust
or fumes.
Check your replacement battery before each use. Visually
check the battery before each use. A non-functioning
battery must be disposed of correctly. Do not send by
post. For further details, please contact your local dispos-
al companies.
For risks of injury do not use the battery as a power
source for other products. Only use the battery for the
GARDENA product intended.
Only use and charge the battery in ambient temperatures
of between 0 °C and 40 °C. Allow battery to cool down
after long periods of use.
Check the charging cable regularly for signs of damage
or ageing (brittleness). Only use it in perfect condition.
Do not stow the battery above 45 °C or in direct sunlight.
Ideally, the battery should be stored below 25 °C so that
self-discharge is low.
Do not expose the battery to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a battery will increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep battery in order (clean) especially air vents.
If usage of the battery is not planned for a certain time
(winter period) reload the battery to avoid a deep dis-
charge.
Do not stow while still attached to a tool, this prevents
misuse and accidents.
Do not stow the battery in places where static electricity is
present.
