Rechargeable Battery - TOOLCRAFT DD 10,8 V Originalbetriebsanleitung

• Do not wear any metal or conductive materials, such as jewellery (necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.),
while you are working with the charger or rechargeable battery. Short-circuit poses a danger of burns
and explosion.
• Never short-circuit the contacts of the charger.
• The charger is intended for dry indoor use only. Avoid direct sun irradiation, strong heat or cold. Keep the
charger away from dust and dirt.
• The charger must never become moist or wet. There is a fatal danger from electric shock otherwise!
Do not place any containers with liquids, e.g. buckets, vases or plants, in direct proximity of the charger
or mains cable.
If the charger or mains cable have become moist or wet or damaged (e.g. the housing or cable), do not
touch them. Danger to life from electric shock! First deactivate all sides of the mains socket to which
the charger is connected (e.g. switch off the respective fuse or turn out the fuse. Then deactivate the FI
protection switch).
Only unplug the charger mains plug from the mains socket then. Disconnect the rechargeable battery
from the charger. Do not use the charger anymore, but take it to a specialised workshop or dispose of it
in an environmentally compatible manner.
c) Rechargeable Battery
• Never charge a rechargeable battery unobserved.
• The rechargeable battery is not a toy. Always keep rechargeable battery out of the reach of children.
• The rechargeable battery must never be short-circuited, disassembled or thrown into fire. There is a risk
of fire and explosion!
• Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries can cause chemical burns to skin when touched
without the use of adequate protective gloves.
• The rechargeable battery must not become moist or wet; also protect the rechargeable battery from cold,
heat and solar irradiation. If this is not observed, not only the service life of the rechargeable battery will
reduce, but it may also be damaged. There also is a danger of explosion in extreme cases!
• As the charger as well as the rechargeable battery heat up during the charging process, it is necessary
to ensure sufficient ventilation. Never cover the charger or the rechargeable battery!
• The rechargeable battery fits into the charger or the cordless screw driller only in one direction. Never
insert the rechargeable battery into the charger or the cordless screw driller with force.
• When the rechargeable battery is charged, remove it from the charger and then disconnect the charger
from the mains voltage; pull the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Do not charge the rechargeable battery while it is still hot (e.g. due to operation in the cordless screw
driller). Allow the battery to cool down to room temperature before charging it again.
• Never charge a damaged, leaked or deformed rechargeable battery. This can result in a fire or explosion!
Dispose of such unusable rechargeable batteries in an environmentally compatible fashion. Do not con-
tinue to use them.
• Recharge the rechargeable battery about every 3 months, as otherwise they might be fully discharged
due to self-discharge, which renders the rechargeable battery useless.
