Persons, who are not able to use the charger in a safe way, because of their physical, sensory or mental incompetence, or because of their
•
lack of experience, should not use without the control or instruction from a skilled or qualified person.
The charger runs with 100-240 Volts alternating current, which is not suitable for children – Danger of Life. And beware of risk of electric shock
•
at all times.
Avoid flammable gases, solvents or vapours all the time. Prevent open flame or sparks while charging in progress. Explosion RISK!
•
Ensure sufficient air ventilation and prevent open flame or sparks while charging in progress.
•
The charger is exclusively designed for charging rechargeable batteries and must not be used for other purposes. Corresponding model should
•
be selected for particular lithium-based or lead-based batteries.
You should take into consideration of the charging instructions issued by the battery manufacturer before charging. Check also if the charge
•
profile fits your battery and application.
