Additional safety warnings
Battery safety
Read all the safety and general instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and / or serious injury.
Store these instructions in a safe place. Only use the charger if you can fully
evaluate all functions and carry them out without restrictions, or if you have
received corresponding instructions.
v Supervise children during use, cleaning and maintenance.
This will ensure that children do not play with the charger.
v Charge only lithium-ion batteries of the POWER FOR ALL system type
PBA 18V with a capacity of 1.5 Ah or more (5 battery cells or more).
The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the
charger. Do not charge any nonrechargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
v
Do not expose the charger to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
v Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
v Always check the charger, cable and plug before use. Stop using the
charger if you discover any damage. Do not open the charger yourself,
and have it repaired only by a qualified specialist using only original
replacement parts.
Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
v Do not operate the charger on an easily ignited surface (e. g. paper,
textiles, etc.) or in a flammable environment.
There is a risk of fire due to the charger heating up during operation.
v In order to avoid safety hazards, if the power supply cord needs to be
replaced, this must be done by GARDENA or by a customer service centre
that is authorised to repair GARDENA power tools.
v Do not operate the product while it is charging.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved
electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not
suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted
in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be
disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into
a mains socket elsewhere.
v These safety warnings apply only for lithium-ion batteries of the
POWER FOR ALL system PBA 18V.
v Only use the battery with products of the POWER FOR ALL system
manufacturers. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery
against dangerous overload.
v Recharge only 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.
v The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery in the charger before
using your power tool for the first time.
v Keep battery packs out of the reach of children.
v Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
v In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be
emitted. The battery can set alight or explode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you expe-
rience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
v If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may
be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoid-
ed. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid
comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
v If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected and cover nearby sur-
faces. Check affected parts.
Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
v Do not short-circuit the battery pack. When the battery pack is not in
use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a con-
nection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
v The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or
screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
v Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.
Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against continuous intense
v
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v Only operate and store the battery at an ambient temperature
between – 20 °C and + 50 °C.
Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for example.
At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices may experience a loss of power.
v Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature which is between
0 °C and + 45 °C.
Charging outside of this temperature range can increase the risk of damage to
the battery and pose a fire hazard.
