8. Protect batteries and the tool from over-
loads! Overloads will quickly result in over-
heating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks! Replace batte-
ries which have been dropped from a height
of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the
battery may have suff ered serious damage.
In this respect, please also read the waste
disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading
and overheating, the integrated protec-
tive cut-off will switch off the equipment
for safety reasons. Caution! Do not press
the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective
cut-off has actuated. This may damage the
battery.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosi-
on and a fi re risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1. Please check the data marked on the ra-
ting plate of the battery charger. Be sure
to connect the battery charger to a power
supply with the voltage marked on the rating
plate. Never connect it to a diff erent mains
voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable
from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a
qualifi ed electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and
the cordless tool out of children's reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger
to charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will be-
come warm. Allow the battery pack to cool
to room temperature before commencing with
the charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries! Do not ex-
ceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times apply only to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-
pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-
re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suff ered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature
below 10°C will cause chemical damage
to the cell and may cause a fi re.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated
during the charging process, as the bat-
tery cells may have suff ered dangerous
damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suff e-
red curvature or deformation during the
charging process or which show other
non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing,
cracking,...)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack
(recommended depth of discharge max.
80%). A complete discharge of the battery
pack will lead to premature ageing of the bat-
tery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised!
Protection from environmental infl uences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety
goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the batte-
ry charger near vapors and infl ammable
liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless
tools only in dry conditions and an ambi-
ent temperature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach
over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating! Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place
at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect from
humidity and direct sunlight. Place only fully
