Remove the battery from the charger and
pull the mains plug when not using for
extended periods. Saving energy helps to
save the environment.
When cleaning the battery charger, pull the
mains plug out of the socket. There is dan-
ger of electric shock.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the battery charger. If the insula-
tion is damaged, protection against an elec-
tric shock will be ineffective.
Charge the battery at temperatures above
+32 °F (0 °C) and below +113 °F (+45 °C).
Store the power tool and battery at a loca-
tion where the temperature does not exceed
+120 °F (+49 °C). This is important to avoid
severe damage to the battery cells.
Never immerse the battery, power tool or
charger in liquids of any kind or allow liquid
to enter. Corrosive or conductive liquids
(e.g. sea water, industrial chemicals or prod-
ucts containing bleach, etc.) may cause a
short circuit, resulting in fire, personal injury
and property damage.
Under extreme conditions of use or temper-
ature, the battery may leak. Avoid contact
with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is
corrosive and can cause tissue burns. If the
liquid comes into contact with the skin,
wash it off immediately with soap and water.
If the liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with water for at least 10 minutes and seek
medical attention.
Make sure the cable is positioned in such a
manner that it cannot be stepped on, tripped
over, or otherwise damaged or strained. A
damaged plug and cable may cause an elec-
tric shock or fire.
Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug
and not the cable. Do not operate the char-
ger with a damaged cable or plug; replace
immediately. A damaged plug and cable may
cause an electric shock or fire.
Do not insert the battery into the charger if
the battery housing is damaged. Using a
damaged battery may result in electric shock
or fire.
Do not disassemble or operate the charger if
it has received a heavy blow, has been
dropped, or otherwise damaged. Incorrect
assembly or damage may result in electric
shock or fire.
Do not use accessories that are not recom-
mended by Fein or sold by Fein. The use of
accessories that are not recommended may
result in electric shock or fire.
Replace the battery when a significant
decrease in operating time per charge is
observed. The battery may be close to the
end of its service life.
When the battery is not in the

power tool or charger, keep it
away from metal objects. For example, do
not place the battery in a tool box or bag
with nails, screws, wrenches, etc. in order to
protect the terminals from short circuiting.
This can lead to fires or injuries.
Do not place the battery into a fire or expose
it to high heat. The battery can explode.
Do not attempt to disassem-

ble the battery or remove pro-
truding parts from the battery terminals.
This can lead to fires or injuries. Protect
exposed terminals with thick insulating tape
prior to disposal in order to avoid short cir-
cuits.
