Safety rules General The device has been manufactured in line with the state of the art and according to recognized safety standards. If used incorrectly or misused, however, it can cause: Serious or fatal injury to the operator or third parties Damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operating company Inefficient operation of the device All persons involved in commissioning, operating, maintaining and servicing the device...
This may affect device types in terms of: Connection restrictions, requirements regarding permitted mains impedance Requirements with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data" In this case, the operating company or the person using the device should check whether the device may be connected, possibly by discussing the matter with the energy company where appropriate.
Ignoring this European Directive may be harmful to the environment and your own health! As soon as it appears that the battery has been mechanically damaged, dispose of the battery in accordance with national laws and guidelines at your nearest recycling centre. If anything is unclear or for any questions concerning disposal, contact an authorised service centre.
Protecting your- While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working self and others area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity, warn them about all the dangers (hazardous electrolytes and gases, danger from mains and charging current, etc.), provide suitable protective equipment.
Maintenance Before switching on, always check the mains plug and cable as well as charger leads and charging terminals for any signs of damage. If the surface of the device housing is dirty, clean with a soft cloth and solvent-free clean- ing agent only.
