USER INFORMATION

In accordance with Directives 2011/65/CE and
2012/19/CE on the reduction of hazardous
substances in elec trical and elec tronic
equipment (ROHS) and the disposal of waste
from such equipment (WEEE)
When the symbol depicting a crossed-out refuse bin appears on
equipment, this means that it must be collected separately from
other waste at the end of its working life.
When the equipment is no longer serviceable, accordingly, it should
be taken by the user to a special sorted collection centre for electrical
and electronic waste, or if purchasing a new product of similar
type, returned to the dealer on a one-for-one basis (takeback
scheme).
Proper sorted collection ensures that the discarded equipment can be
sent subsequently for eco-friendly recycling, treatment and disposal;
this helps to avoid any possible negative impact on the environment
and on health, besides enabling the reclamation of materials used in
manufacturing the equipment.
Unauthorized dumping of waste is irresponsible, and punishable
under statutory regulations.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Only charge the batteries in chargers that are recommended by
the manufacturer. A charger that is designed for a certain type of
batteries may pose a fire risk if it is used with other types of
batteries.
2. Use only the correct batteries in the electric tools. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries and a fire risk. Never
attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
3. In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape from the battery. Avoid
contact with it. If you touch it by mistake, rinse the affected area
with water. If you get the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
4. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to
a different mains voltage.
5. If the cable is damaged, replace the battery charger.
6. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of
children's reach.
7. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
8. Do not use the battery charger to charge the batteries of other
cordless devices.
9. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the
battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing
6
with the charging.
10. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged
battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not
leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
11. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause
chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
12. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging
process, as the battery cells may have suffered dangerous
damage.
13. Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or
deformation during the charging process or which show other
non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).
14. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of
discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack
will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
15. Do not use the battery charger in places accessible to children or
persons who have not been instructed on its use.
16. Protect your battery charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
17. Do not use the battery charger in explosive or inflammable
atmospheres.
18. Use the battery charger only in dry conditions and an ambient
temperature of 10-40°C.
19. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature
is likely to reach over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
20. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, over-charging
and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been
overheated – replace them immediately if possible.
21. In the case of overloading and overheating the battery will be
disconnected automatically by the protection circuit for safety
reasons. Unplug the battery charger from the mains power
socket and remove the battery. Allow the battery to cool down
completely. Once the battery has cooled you can resume the
recharging procedure.
22. This device must not be used by persons (including children)
with impaired physical, sensory or mental capacity or lacking
experience and awareness, unless they are supervised or
instructed in relation to its use by a person responsible for their
safety. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play
with the device.
23. Retain this Manual and consult it before using the battery
charger.
24. All labels with health hazards must be kept in good conditions.
In case of damage or deterioration, immediately substitute them
(see Fig. 1).
25. Please note that the owner or the user is responsible for any
accidents or damage to third parties or their property.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (FIG.2)
• Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the
rating plate of the battery charge. Insert the power plug of the
charger into the mains socket outlet. The LED A will then
illuminate in green;
• Insert the battery in the battery charger. The LED B will be
illuminate in red while LED A is still green;
• The battery is fully charged when the LED A and the LED B are
illuminate in green.
