Disposal of batteries
Batteries contain substances that can be harmful
to human health and the environment if they are
not handled properly. Batteries are marked with the
crossed trash bin. It symbolises that waste batteries
must not be disposed with unsorted waste but must
be collected separately.
It is important that you hand in your waste batteries to
the collection points that are established. In this way,
you help to ensure that the batteries are recycled in
accordance with legislation and do not unnecessarily
damage the environment. Your local waste authori-
ties can inform you how to dispose and recycle this
type of battery correctly.

When sliding in the battery, check the following
points. Do not load a wire coil in the re-bar binder
if:
• There is a sound from the curl guide, even though
the re-bar binder is not in use.
• The re-bar binder is warmer than usual, smells
odd, or a noise is coming from the machine when
not in use.
If one of the above-mentioned points occur and you
continue to use the re-bar binder without correction
the error, it may cause damage to the machine. If it is
not possible to correct the error, contact your dealer.
Do not make any modications to the re-bar
binder.
Modifying the re-bar binder does not only reduce the
function of it, but also the level of security. Do not
make any modications to the re-bar binder.
Make sure that the re-bar binder is in good condi-
tion.
To maintain the functionality and the quality from the
work of the re-bar binder, maintain it properly and
make sure that it is being serviced on a regular basis.
Remember to keep the handle free of oil and dirt.
Use only approved batteries.
Use only the approved type of battery 18V 4.0Ah
Li-ion for this re-bar binder. If using another power
source, for example another type of battery, dry cell
battery or a car battery, the machine can break down
or burst into ames.
Charge the batteries before use.
A new battery or a battery which has not been used
for a long period of time, may be discharged and has
to be fully recharged before use.
Precautions for battery charging,
chargers and batteries
Use only an approved charger.
Use only the approved charger which comes with the
re-bar binder and batteries. The batteries cannot be
recharged with other chargers – this may cause dam-
age, overheating or re.
Recharge the batteries with the correct voltage.
Make sure that the charger is connected to an
ordinary 100-240V AC power source. Do not connect
the charger to a power source with another voltage
than 100-240V AC. If using another voltage than 100-
240V AC will cause a malfunction and/or overheating,
causing damage to the battery and charger.
Never use a booster-type transformer.
Never charge the battery in a wet or damp envi-
ronment.
Charging a wet or damp battery or using a damp
charger may cause an electric shock or short circuit.
Do not touch the plug or charger with a wet hand
or glove.
You will risk injury from electric shock.
Do not cover or place anything on the charger
during use.
The charger may become overheated and eventually
catch re.
Make sure not to place charger and battery next
to a heating source or open re.
Do not place the battery near ammable items.
Charge the battery in a well ventilated place.
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight.
Charge the battery at a temperature between +5°
and +40° Celsius.
Leave the charger to rest between charges.
Keep the charger’s connectors clean.
All objects on the connectors can cause electric
shock or malfunction. Use the charger in a dust- and
dirt-free environment.
Handle the charger cord carefully.
Do not carry the charger in the cord, and do not un-
plug it by pulling the cord. You will risk that the cord
becomes damaged and will cause a malfunction. A
damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
Put the battery cover on the battery terminals
when not in use.
This must be done to prevent a short circuit in the
battery.
Make sure that the battery terminals do not touch
each other. A short circuit between the terminals will
overheat and damage the batteries.
