5. Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger that is designed for a certain type
of battery may pose a fi re risk if it is used with
other types of battery.
b) Use only the correct batteries in the elec-
tric tools. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and a fi re risk.
c) Keep unused batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
metallic objects that could cause a short
circuit between the contacts. A short cir-
cuit between the battery contacts may cause
burns or a fi re.
d) In case of incorrect use, fl uid may escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you
touch it by accident, rinse the aff ected area
with water. If you get the fl uid in your eyes,
also seek medical advice. Leaking battery
fl uid can cause skin irritation or burns.
e) Never use damaged or altered rechargea-
ble batteries. Damaged or altered recharge-
able batteries can behave unpredictably and
lead to a risk of fi re, explosion or injury.
f)
Never expose a rechargeable battery to
fi re or high temperatures. Fire or tempera-
tures over 130°C pose a risk of explosion.
g) Follow all the instructions on charging
and never charge the rechargeable batte-
ry or cordless tool outside the specifi ed
allowable charging temperature range.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the
allowable charging temperature range could
cause irreparable damage to the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts. This will ensure that your power
tool remains safe to use.
b) Never perform maintenance work on da-
maged rechargeable batteries. All mainte-
nance work on rechargeable batteries should
only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized after sales service outlets.

Special safety information
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you
with batteries which feature maximum power den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac-
teristic curves are recorded. These data are then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best
possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling bat-
teries. The following points must be obeyed
at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama-
ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can
cause cell damage.
Caution! Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and
poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cord-
less tool is not charged. The battery pack
has to be charged before you use the tool for
the fi rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid
low discharge cycles. Charge the battery
pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place,
ideally at 15°C and charged to at least
40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a
natural ageing process. The battery pack
must be replaced at the latest when its capa-
city falls to just 80% of its capacity when new.
Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are
no longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open
fi re. There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose
it to fi re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries!
Exhaustive discharge will damage the
battery cells. The most common cause
of deep discharge is lengthy storage or
non-use of partly discharged batteries.
Stop working as soon as the performance of
the battery falls noticeably or the electronic
protection system triggers. Place the battery
pack in storage only after it has been fully
charged.
