Battery + Charger Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every
battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries
that are safe, durable and have a high energy density.
The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices.
Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical
characteristic curves are recorded. This data is then used
exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible
battery packs.
WARNING!
Use only approved replacement
batteries; other batteries may damage the cordless paint
sprayer and cause it to malfunction, which can lead to
personal injury.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always
be exercised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are
used. Incorrect handling of the battery pack can cause
cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and
poor care of high-performance batteries are the main
factors responsible for personal and/or product damage.
WARNING!
Do not use a battery pack or
appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or
modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery pack except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the battery pack is maintained.
To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
40V lithium-ion battery pack only in its designated
40V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present
risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire a
battery pack to a power supply plug or car cigarette
lighter. Such misuse will permanently disable or damage
the battery pack.
• Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence
of explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or
flammable materials) because sparks may be generated
when inserting or removing the battery pack, which
could lead to a fire.
• Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near
a charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is
41°F – 105°F (5°C – 40.5°C). Do not charge the battery
outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
• Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger,
pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to
reduce the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord
to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will
not be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage
or stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any
cleaning or maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into
the charger. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
to reduce shock hazards.
•Do not burn or incinerate battery packs – Battery
packs may explode, causing personal injury or damage.
Toxic fumes and materials are created when battery
packs are burned.
• Do not crush, drop or damage battery packs – Do not
use the battery pack or charger if they have sustained
a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or have been
damaged in any way (i.e. pierced with a nail, hit with a
hammer, stepped on, etc.).
• Do not disassemble – Incorrect reassembly may pose
a serious risk of electric shock, fire or exposure to toxic
battery chemicals. If the battery or charger are damaged,
Contact the Litheli customer service E-mail
• Battery chemicals cause serious burns – Never let a
damaged battery pack contact the skin, eyes or mouth.
If a damaged battery pack leaks battery chemicals, use
rubber or neoprene gloves to safely dispose of it. If skin
is exposed to battery fluids, wash the affected area with
soap and water and rinse with vinegar. If eyes are exposed
to battery chemicals, immediately flush with water for
20 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove and
dispose of contaminated clothing.
• Do not short circuit – A battery pack will short circuit if
a metal object makes a connection between the positive
and negative contacts on the battery pack. Do not place
a battery pack near anything that may cause a short
circuit, such as paper clips, coins, keys, screws, nails
and other metallic objects. A short-circuited battery
pack poses a risk of fire and severe personal injury.
• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place – Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 105°F (40.5°C), such as in
direct sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building
during the summer.
• Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary – Using the wrong, damaged or improperly
wired extension cord poses a risk of fire and electric
shock. If an extension cord must be used, plug the
charger into a properly wired 16 gauge or larger
extension cord with the female plug matching the male
plug on the charger. Make sure that the extension cord
is in good electrical condition.
•Charger 40V CHRG-AC is rated for 100 – 120VAC volt
AC only – The charger must be plugged into an
appropriate receptacle.
• Use only recommended attachments – Use of an
attachment not recommended or sold by the battery
charger or battery pack manufacturer may result in risk
of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
• Unplug charger when not in use – Make sure to remove
battery packs from unplugged chargers.
charger with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a
damaged charger immediately.
