Special safety directions for
battery-operated tools
•
Ensure that the device is switched
off before inserting the battery.
Inserting a battery into a power
tool that is switched on may re-
sult in accidents.
•
Recharge the batteries indoors
only because the battery charger
is designed for indoor use only.
•
To reduce the electric shock
hazard, unplug the battery
charger from the mains before
cleaning the charger.
•
Do not subject the battery to
strong sunlight over long pe-
riods and do not leave it on
a heater. Heat damages the

explosion.
•
Allow a hot battery to cool be-
fore charging.
•
Do not open up the battery and
avoid mechanical damage to

irritate the respiratory tract.
Ensure fresh air and seek medi-
cal assistance in the event of
discomfort.
