Instructions For Using The Battery; Disposal Of Accumulators - IKRA RTA 2118 LI Manuel D'utilisation

5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated
power tools
a) Make sure that the device has been switched off
before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into
a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!
b) Only use charging devices recommended by the
manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging
units are usually designed for certain types of batter-
ies; if used with other types there is a risk of fire!
c) Only use batteries designed for your power tool.
The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk
of fire!
d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit be-
tween the battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
e) Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of
the battery. Avoid any contact with battery fluid.
Flush with water in case of contact. If battery fluid
should get into your eyes seek medical advice ad-
ditionally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations
of the skin or burns!
