Careful handling and use of battery
devices
•
Charge the batteries only in chargers
that are recommended by the manu-
facturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is
suitable for a specific type of battery is
used with other batteries.
•
In the power tools, use only the batter-
ies designed for the purpose. The use
of other batteries may result in injuries
and risk of fire.
•
Keep the unused battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
and other small metal objects, which
could cause bridging of the contacts. A
short circuit between the battery con-
tacts may cause burns or fire.

Special safety directions for battery-
operated tools
•
Ensure that the device is switched off
before inserting the battery. Insert-
ing a battery into a power tool that is
switched on may result in accidents.

To reduce the electric shock hazard,
unplug the battery charger from the
mains before cleaning the charger.

sunlight over long periods and do not
leave it on a heater. Heat damages the
battery and there is a risk of explosion.
•
Allow a hot battery to cool before
charging.

Do not open up the battery and avoid
mechanical damage to the battery.
Risk of short circuit and fumes may
be emitted that irritate the respiratory
tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medi-
cal assistance in the event of discom-
fort.
