1 Safety guidelines
– Never short-circuit rechargeable batteries, that is, never touch both
poles at the same time, especially not with objects that conduct elec-
tricity. Store rechargeable batteries so that they cannot be short-cir-
cuited by other rechargeable batteries or metal objects during stor-
age.
– Only use the included mains adapter to charge the rechargeable bat-
tery. Never charge the rechargeable battery with another mains
adapter. Only use the included mains adapter to charge the re-
chargeable battery for this appliance.
– At the end of its life span, remove the rechargeable battery as de-
scribed. Then take the rechargeable battery to an appropriate collec-
tion point nearby, thus ensuring safe and environmentally-appropri-
ate disposal. Never throw rechargeable batteries away in household
garbage!
– In case of improper handling, liquid can escape from the rechargea-
ble battery. Do not use the rechargeable battery if it is damaged or if
it leaking liquid.
- If liquid has escaped, avoid contact with the liquid.
- In case of contact with the liquid, rinse it off immediately with co-
pious amounts of water. In case of after-effects (irrespective of
