4.1
Use and handling cordless tools
• Only recharge with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When not in use, keep batteries away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that could bridge
16
the contacts. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery. Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (265 °F) may cause
explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the
instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
• Remove the battery packs from the machine
before making any conversion, maintaining or
cleaning.
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to fire!
• Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
• Do not open battery packs!
• Do not touch or short circuit battery pack
contacts!
A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak
from defective Li-ion battery packs!
If battery fluid leaks out and comes into
contact with your skin, rinse immediately
with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out
and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them
with clean water and seek medical attention
immediately!
• If the machine is defective, remove the battery
pack from the machine.
Transport of li-ion battery packs:
• The shipping of li-ion battery pack is subject to
laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods
(UN 3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the
currently valid specifications when shipping li-ion
battery packs. If necessary, consult your freight
forwarder. Certified packaging is available from
Metabo.
• Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact
and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack
from the machine for sending. Prevent the
contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting
them with adhesive tape).
