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...
Mains connec- Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to tion their current consumption. This may affect a number device types in terms of: Connection restrictions Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement at the interface with the public grid see "Technical data"...
To comply with European Directive 2006/66/EC on batteries and its implementa- tion in national law, batteries that have reached the end of their life must be col- lected separately and returned to an approved recycling facility. Be sure to re- turn any used battery to your dealer, or find out about the approved collection and recycling facilities in your area.
Protecting your- While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the self and others working 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 cleaning agent only.
Disposal Waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately and re- cycled in an environmentally-friendly way, in accordance with the European Dir- ective and national legislation. Used equipment must be returned to the distrib- utor or disposed of via an approved local collection and disposal facility. Correct disposal of used equipment promotes the sustainable recycling of material re- sources.
