Additional Instructions For Work With The Battery Pack - SPARKY GUR 10.8Li HD Notice Originale

chargeable battery pack as supplied with the
charger. Any other use may result in the risk of
fire or electric shock.
▪ The charger and battery packs supplied with it
are specifically designed to work together. Do
not attempt to charge the battery pack with any
other charger than the one supplied.
▪ Do not place any object on top of the charger
as it could cause overheating. Do not place the
charger near any heat source.
▪ Do not pull on the lead of the charger to discon-
nect it from the power source.
▪ Make sure that the charger cable is positioned
where it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
▪ Do not use an extension cord unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. The use of an improper exten-
sion cord could cause the risk of fire or electric
shock.
▪ Do not use the charger if it has been subjected
to a heavy knock, dropped or otherwise dam-
aged in any way. Do not operate charger with
damaged cord or plug - have them replaced
immediately. Take the charger to an authorised
service centre for a check or repair.
▪ If the replacement of the supply cord is neces-
sary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or
his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
▪ Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an
authorised service centre when service or re-
pair is required. Incorrect re-assembly may re-
sult in the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug
the charger from the power supply before at-
tempting to clean it. Removing the battery pack
alone does not reduce the risk.
▪ Never attempt to connect two chargers togeth-
er.
▪ Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 40°C such as alongside sheds, trailers
or metal structures during summer.
▪ The charger is designed for use from a stand-
ard household electrical supply (230–240 V).
Do not attempt to connect the charger to a sup-
ply with a different voltage.
▪ If you wish to charge a second battery pack,
unplug the charger from the mains supply and
leave it for at least 15 minutes. After this time
you can charge a second battery pack.
▪ Under certain conditions, with the charger
plugged in to the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-up

of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is no bat-
tery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before
attempting to clean.
▪ Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or
any other liquid.
VI - Additional instructions
for work with the
battery pack
▪ The battery pack for this tool has been shipped
in a low charge condition. You should charge
the battery pack fully before use.
WARNING: If the battery pack is
cracked or damaged in any other way, do not
insert it in the charger. There is a danger of
electric shock.
▪ To ensure the longest battery life and best bat-
tery performance, always charge the battery
when the air temperature is between 18–24°C.
Do not charge the battery pack when the tem-
perature is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is
important. Failure to observe this safety rule
could cause serious damage to the battery
pack.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become
warm to touch while charging. This is a normal
condition, and does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery
packs in direct sunlight in hot weather or near
heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any
kind. The battery must be placed in a well ven-
tilated area during charging.
▪ When the battery is defective, liquid can escape
and come into contact with adjacent compo-
nents. Check any parts concerned. Clean such
parts or replace them, if required.
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a
lamp or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send
the tool, battery pack and charger to your
local service centre.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs, which
