other debris.
• The user is responsible for accidents or injuries to
other people.
• After finishing the work, turn off the device and re-
move the battery.
• Do not use the charger if it is damaged.
• Use the device only with batteries and chargers in-
tended for it. Using other components can lead to
fire.
Safety notices for the charger
• Keep the charger away from rain and wet condi-
tions. Water ingress into the charger increases the
risk of an electric shock.
• Keep the charger clean. Dirt increases the risk of
an electric shock.
• Before every use, check the charger, cable and
plug. Do not use the charger if you notice any
damage. Do not open the charger yourself but
have it repaired exclusively by qualified special-
ists and only with original spare parts. Damaged
chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of elec-
tric shock. Do not place objects on the charger and
do not put the charger on soft surfaces. Risk of fire
• Always check if the mains voltage corresponds
with the voltage specified on the rating plate of
the charger.
• Never use the charger if the cable, plug or the
charger itself have been damaged by external
influences. Take the charger to the nearest special-
ist service centre
• Do not open the charger under any circumstanc-
es. In the event of a fault, take it to a specialist
service centre.
Safety notices for Li-Ion batteries
• Do not open the battery. Risk of short-circuiting!
• Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from constant
sun exposure, and from fire, water and humidity.
Risk of explosion.
• When the battery has been damaged or it is
being used inappropriately, fumes can be re-
leased. Let fresh air in and consult a doctor if the
fumes cause you any problems. The fumes can
irritate the respiratory tract.
• Only use original batteries with the voltage
specified on the rating plate of your power tool.
If other batteries are used, e.g. imitations, recondi-
tioned batteries or products from third party manu-
facturers, there is a risk of personal injury as well
as property damage based on exploding batteries.
• The battery voltage must correspond with the
battery charging voltage of the charger. Other-
wise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Charge the batteries only in chargers that have
been recommended by the manufacturer. There
is a risk of fire if a charger for a particular type of
battery is used for another type of battery.
