General informa-
tion regarding the
handling of lith-
ium batteries
- Lithium batteries have a gas-tight seal and are harmless provided the manufac-
turer's specifications are adhered to during use and handling
- Never use chargers that are not suitable for the battery type
- Do not short-circuit
- Do not mechanically damage them (tap, deform, dismantle, etc.)
- Never heat them to above the permissible temperature or burn them
- Always store batteries in a cool, dry place
- Lithium batteries are safe to use if they are handled properly within the parameters
specified by the manufacturer
- Mishandling or circumstances that result in improper use can result in the battery
contents and decomposition products leaking and related reactions that are
extremely hazardous to health and the environment
- As a wide variety of chemical substances are found inside the battery, in the event of
an accident always follow the manufacturer's specifications regarding emergency
response actions and first aid
- Lithium batteries must, in all circumstances, be handled according to the manufac-
turer's instructions
- In particular, this applies to observing the limits for maximum current load, charging
and cutoff voltages as well as mechanical and thermal loads
- The charger and battery are designed to work together and must not be modified or
manipulated in any way as this can result in considerable safety risks
- Ideally, lithium batteries should be stored at room temperature in a dry location
(details regarding the storage temperature range can be found in the manufacturer's
instructions)
- Large temperature fluctuations must be avoided (e.g. do not store the batteries near
to heaters, do not expose them to prolonged sunlight)
- Should damage or improper handling result in the leakage of substances, then the
manufacturer's instructions must be followed
- This includes the use of personal protective equipment
- When storing large quantities of lithium batteries, the local authorities should be con-
sulted
- Employees must be trained on how to correctly handle lithium batteries (in the same
way as hazardous substances)
8

Protecting your-
self and others
While the charger is in operation, keep all persons, especially children, out of the working
area. If, however, there are people in the vicinity,
- warn them about all the dangers (hazardous electrolytes and gases, danger from
mains and charging current, etc.),
- provide suitable protective equipment.
Before leaving the work area, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm in
your absence.
Safety measures
in normal opera-
tion
Chargers with a ground conductor must only be operated on a mains supply with a
ground conductor and a socket with a ground conductor contact. If the charger is oper-
ated on a mains supply without a ground conductor or in a socket without a ground con-
ductor contact, this will be deemed gross negligence. The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for any damage arising from such usage.
Only operate the charger in accordance with the degree of protection shown on the rat-
ing plate.
Under no circumstances operate the charger if there is any evidence of damage.
Arrange for the mains cable to be checked regularly by a qualified electrician to ensure
the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Any safety devices and parts that are not functioning properly or are in imperfect condi-
tion must be repaired by a qualified technician before switching on the charger.
Never bypass or disable protection devices.
After installation, an accessible mains plug is required.
EMC device clas-
sifications
Devices with emission class A:
- Are only designed for use in an industrial setting.
- Can cause conducted and emitted interference in other areas.
Devices with emission class B:
- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This also applies to
residential areas in which power is supplied from the public low-voltage grid.
EMC device classification according to the rating plate or the technical data.
EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emis-
sions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g. when there is
sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is
close to either radio or television receivers).
If this is the case, then the operating company is obliged to take appropriate action to
rectify the situation.
Data protection The user is responsible for the safekeeping of any changes made to the factory settings.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any deleted personal settings.
