plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and corresponding outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, stoves and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cable. Never use the cord to carry, pull or unplug the power tool. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of
electric shock.
5. When operating an outdoor power tool, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a
cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If you cannot avoid operating a power tool in a humid place, use a supply protected by the residual
current device (RCD). The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING: DO NOT allow comfort or familiarity with the product (obtained with repeated use) to
avoid strict compliance with the safety standards of the product in question. Misuse or breach of the
safety rules set forth in this instruction manual can cause serious personal injury.
Battery and charger
1. Always remove the battery from the charger once charging is complete.
2. Remove the charged battery from the charger when it is not in use.
3. Never attempt to charge a damaged battery.
4. Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
5. Improper use of lithium-ion and lithium-polymer cells and rechargeable batteries can lead to
overheating, explosion or spontaneous ignition of the cells or battery, and in turn to severe injury.
6. Always ensure the correct polarity when inserting the battery.
7. Never short-circuit the positive and negative connection terminals of the battery (e.g. on a wire).
8. Never carry or store the battery together with necklaces, hairpins or other metal objects.
9. Never perforate, strike or step on the battery and safeguard the battery against all forms of
mechanical damage.
10. Protect the battery against water, salt water and moisture.
11. Never disassemble the battery or attempt to modify it in any way. The battery is fitted with a number
of safety devices. Damage to any of these safety devices can lead to overheating, explosion or
spontaneous ignition of the battery. The battery safety circuit must not be used as a circuit breaker.
12. Keep the battery away from naked flames, ovens and other sources of heat. Never expose the battery
to direct sunlight or store or use it in a vehicle during sunny weather. High temperatures can damage
the battery safety circuit and lead to overheating, explosion or spontaneous ignition of the battery.
Use of the battery under such conditions can also impair battery performance and decrease the
service life of the battery.
13. If the battery is to remain unused for a period of time, it must be charged to approx. 30-50% and
stored at room temperature (19°C to 25°C). In the event of a prolonged period of storage, the battery
must be charged once per year in order to avoid complete discharge.
14. The battery and charger will become hot during charging. This is normal and is not an indication of a
malfunction.
15. Charging must be stopped if the battery fails to charge fully within the specified charging time. Failure
to stop charging can cause the battery to overheat, explode or spontaneously ignite. Battery charging
must be performed at temperatures of 0°C to 40°C. Charging at any other temperatures can cause
severe damage to the battery or decrease its service life.
16. Disused batteries must be isolated by winding adhesive tape or similar around the connection
terminals.
17. Never dispose of the battery by burning or discarding it with standard household refuse. Always take
