• Keep children away and do not allow children
to operate this device!
• Only use this product as intended!
• Do not manipulate or disassemble the device!
• For your own safety, only use accessories and
spare parts that are stated in these instructions
or that are recommended by the manufacturer!
• The warning triangle labels all instructions
important to safety. Always follow these
otherwise you could injure yourself or damage
the device.
• Do not smoke and do not ignite naked flames
when working on the battery. There is a risk of
explosion.
• Only connect the device to a power socket in-
stalled according to regulations. The voltage
must correspond to the specification on the
type plate of the device.
• Do not trap the power cable and protect it
from sharp edges, damp, heat or oil. The power
cable of the unit cannot be replaced. In the
event that the cable is damaged, the unit must
be disposed of.
• Do not operate the device or immediately pull
the plug if it is damaged or you suspect it may be
defective. In this case, contact our technicians.
• Pull the plug when the device is not in use.
• Keep packaging materials, especially plastic
and plastic bags, away from children. Risk of
suffocation.
• Remove all plastic from the device before use.
• Place the mains cable in such a manner that it
does not impede and that it cannot be unplug-
ged accidentally.
• Disconnect the battery charger from the power
supply after the charging process.
• Keep the charger in a place that cannot be
accessed by children or unauthorised persons.
• Never operate the device in the vicinity of flam-
mable materials or in an environment prone to
explosion.
• Always wear suitable working clothes, protec-
tive gloves and goggles. Battery acid is corrosi-
ve! Immediately and thoroughly wash off any
splashed acid and consult a doctor, if necessary.
If battery acid gets into the eyes, immediately
rinse under running water for at least 10 minu-
tes and consult a doctor.
• Do not cover the charger, this may lead to
overheating and result in damages. Never set
the charger up for operation on a surface that
is insulating (e.g. polystyrene). There is a risk of
8
heat built up!
• If you wish to charge a vehicle battery in the
installed state, first park the vehicle safely,
put on the parking break and switch off the
ignition. Cut the battery off from the on-board
network of your vehicle. To do this, consult the
manual for your vehicle, or ask your specialist
workshop.
• This charger enables you to charge a battery
without needing to disconnect it from the on-
board network. If you wish to make use of this
option, make sure that your vehicle will not be
damaged by this process. For this purpose, read
the manual of your vehicle or ask your specia-
list workshop.
• To remove the battery charger, first pull the
plug out of the socket and observe the sequen-
ce for disconnection. This prevents sparks from
forming. Since charging generates a detona-
ting gas, this is particularly important for the
sake of your safety.
• Only hold the power cable at the power plug
when disconnecting from the power socket.
• Never expose the charger to the vicinity of fire,
heat and extensive temperatures over +40°C.
• Store these instructions carefully and, if
necessary, pass them on to other users.
