7 TRANSPORT
Before transporting, carry out the following meas-
ures:
1. Switch off the appliance:
2. Remove the rechargeable battery from the
basic appliance.
3. Separate the basic appliance, extension pipe
(if present) and attachment from each other.
NOTE
The nominal energy of the rechargeable
battery is more than 100 Wh. Therefore,
heed the following transport instructions.
The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the
appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law,
but can be transported under simplified condi-
tions:
■
The rechargeable battery can be transported
on public roads by the private user without
further conditions provided it is packaged for
retail sale and the transport serves personal
purposes.
■
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 mandat-
ory 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 re-
chargeable batteries in an undamaged state.
■
For transporting the rechargeable battery,
only use the original cardboard box or a suit-
able hazardous goods cardboard box (not re-
quired for rechargeable batteries with a nom-
inal energy less than 100 Wh).
■
Tape off exposed rechargeable battery con-
tacts to avoid a short circuit.
■
Secure the rechargeable battery against
shifting in the packaging to avoid damage to
the rechargeable battery.
■
Ensure the correct marking and documenta-
tion of the shipment during transport or ship-
ping (e.g. by parcel service or freight forward-
ing).
