v Supervise children during use, cleaning and
maintenance. This will ensure that children do not
play with the charger.
v The battery voltage must match the battery
charging voltage of the charger. Do not
charge any nonrechargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
v
Do not expose the charger to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
v Keep the charger clean.
Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
v Always check the charger, cable and plug
before use. Stop using the charger if you dis­
cover any damage. Do not open the charger
yourself, and have it repaired only by a quali­
fied specialist using only original replacement
parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
v Do not operate the charger on an easily
ignited surface (e. g. paper, textiles, etc.)
or in a flammable environment.
There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up
during operation.
v Do not operate the product while it is
charging.
v Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
v The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the bat-
tery in the charger before using your power tool for
the first time.
v In case of damage and improper use of the
battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery
can set alight or explode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse
effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
v If used incorrectly or if the battery is dam­
aged, flammable liquid may be ejected from
the battery. Contact with this liquid should be
avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse
off with water. If the liquid comes into contact
with your eyes, seek additional medical atten­
tion. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irri-
tation or burns.
v If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected
and cover nearby surfaces. Check affected
parts.
Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
v Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
v Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
v Only operate and store the battery at an ambi­
ent temperature between – 20 °C and + 50 °C.
Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer,
for example. At temperatures of < 0 °C some
devices may experience a loss of power.

v Only charge the rechargeable battery with
a USB cable at an ambient temperature
which is between 0 °C und + 45 °C.
Charging outside of this temperature range can
increase the risk of damage to the battery and
pose a fire hazard.
