10 TRANSPORT
NOTE
The nominal energy of the
rechargeable battery is more than
100 Wh. Therefore, observe the
following transport instructions.
The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the
appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law,
but can be transported under simplified
conditions:
■
The rechargeable battery can be transported
on public roads by the private user without
further conditions provided it is packaged for
retail sale and the transport serves personal
purposes.
■
Commercial users who carry out the transport
in connection with their main activity (e.g.
delivery from and to building sites, or
demonstrations) can also take advantage of
this simplification.
In both cases, it is essential to take the mandatory
precautions mentioned above to prevent any
leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is
essential to comply with the regulations of the
hazardous goods law. In the case of non-
compliance, severe penalties can be imposed on
the sender and possibly the transporter.
Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or send the li-ion rechargeable
battery in an undamaged condition.
■
For transporting the rechargeable battery, only

Tape off exposed rechargeable battery
contacts to avoid a short circuit.
■
Secure the rechargeable battery against
