■
No upper limit for air transport but max. 2
pieces per package
■
If damage to the battery (e.g. due to the ap-
pliance falling) is suspected, transport is not
permissible.
■
Commercial users who carry out the trans-
port in connection with their main activity
(e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or
demonstrations) can also take advantage of
this simplification.
In both cases, it is essential to take the mandato-
ry precautions mentioned above to prevent any
leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is es-
sential to comply with the regulations of the haz-
ardous goods law. In the case of non-compli-
ance, severe penalties can be imposed on the
sender and possibly the transporter.
Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or ship lithium-ion recharge-
able batteries in an undamaged state.
■
Secure the appliance in such a way as to
prevent it from starting to operate inadver-
tently during transport.
■
Secure the appliance with strong outer pack-
aging (cardboard shipment box). Use the
manufacturer's original packaging if possible.
■
Ensure correct identification and documenta-
tion of the consignment during transport or
dispatch (e.g. by parcel or forwarding):
■
When transporting by road, rail and wa-
ter, a warning sticker must be applied to
the packaging when the battery/batteries
accompany the appliance. No warning
sticker is necessary if the battery/batter-
ies are installed or fitted into the appli-
ance, since the outer packaging/original
packaging must already comply with spe-
cific regulations.
■
A warning sticker must always be placed
on the packaging when transporting by
air. The maximum weight limits for batter-
ies sent together with the appliance must
be observed: max. 5 kg battery weight
per package and max. 2 pieces per pack-
age, if the battery/batteries are accompa-
nying the appliance.
■
Please find out in advance whether transport
is possible with the selected service provider,
and show your shipment.
We recommend involving a hazardous goods
specialist in the preparation of the shipment.
Please heed any other national regulations.

11.1 Storing the rechargeable battery and
charging unit
DANGER!
Danger of explosion and fire!
Persons will be fatally or severely injured
if the rechargeable battery explodes be-
cause it was stored in front of naked
flames or heat sources.
■
Store the rechargeable battery in
cool and dry conditions, but not in
front of naked flames or heat sourc-
es.
NOTE
When charging, the rechargeable bat-
tery is protected from overcharging due
to automatic detection of the charge sta-
tus and thus can remain connected to
the charging unit for some time, but not
permanently.
■
Store the battery in a dry, frost-free place at
the prescribed storage temperature (see op-
erating instructions for the battery) and with a
charge of approx. 40 - 60 %.
■
Due to a risk of short-circuit, do not store the
battery near metallic or acid-containing ob-
jects.
■
Recharge the rechargeable battery for ap-
prox. 2 hours after approx. 6 months' stor-
age.
