important to safety. Always follow the-
se otherwise you could injure yourself or
damage the device.
• Do not smoke and do not ignite naked

• Pull the plug when the device is not in use.
• Keep packaging materials, especially plastic
and plastic bags, away from children. Risk of

it does not impede and that it cannot be
unplugged 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
flammable materials or in an environment
prone to explosion.

lothes, protective gloves and goggles.
Battery acid is corrosive! Immediately and
thoroughly wash off any splashed acid and
consult a doctor, if necessary. If battery acid
gets into the eyes, immediately rinse under
wear suitable working
running water for at least 10 minutes 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 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

will not be damaged by this process. For this
purpose, read the manual of your vehicle or
ask your specialist workshop.
• To remove the battery charger, first pull
the plug out of the socket and observe the
sequence for disconnection. This prevents

when disconnecting from the power socket.
• Never expose the charger to the vicinity of
fire, heat and extensive temperatures over
+40°C.
