BATTERY AND CHARGER SAFETY WARNINGS
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before
you use the tool for the rst time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open re. There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the
battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell damage
inside the battery housing without this overheating actually being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batteries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter
or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In this respect, please
also read the waste disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the
equipment for safety reasons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off
has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries may result in injuries, explosion and a re risk.
Information on chargers and the charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger
to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired
without delay by a qualied electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before
commencing with the charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply
to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-
charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were charged was more than 12
months previously. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a re.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered
dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or deformation during the charging process or which show
other non-typical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of
the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

a) Keep your work area clean and well illuminated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an environment where there is a risk of explosions and
where there are inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produce sparks which could set the dust
or vapours alight.
c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other persons. If there is a distraction, you
may lose control of the appliance.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool must fit into the socket. The plug should never be
altered in any way. Never use adapter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered
plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk
of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
d) Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket.
Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Damaged or
entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
e) If you are working outdoors with an electric tool, only use extension cables which are
designed specifically for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock
is reduced.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-
leakage circuit-breaker. The earth leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool
if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection
(such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool)
reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is
switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up
or carry the tool. If your nger is on the switch whilst carrying the electric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains
when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
d) Remove keys and wrenches before switching on the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into
contact with rotating parts of the appliance can lead to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at
all times. In this way, you can control the electric tool better in unexpected circumstances.
f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothes and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get trapped in moving parts.
g) If vacuuming devices and draining devices can be fitted, make sure that these are correctly
attached and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction system can reduce the danger posed by dust.
4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool for your work. You will be able to work better and
more safely within the given performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defective switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments
to the appliance, changing accessories or put the appliance down. This safety measure prevents
starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether moving parts are functioning properly
and not jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough that the functioning of
this electric tool is affected. Have damaged parts repaired before using the appliance. Many
accidents are caused by badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less
and are easier to control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories, attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your work area and the job in hand into account. Using
electric tools for any purpose other than the one for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. A charger
that is designed for a certain type of battery may pose a re risk if it is used with other types of battery.
b) Use only the correct batteries in the electric tools. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and a
re risk.
c) Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic
objects that could cause a short circuit between the contacts. A short circuit between the battery
contacts may cause burns or a re.
d) In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you
touch it by accident, rinse the affected area with water. If you get the fluid in your eyes,
also seek medical advice. Leaking battery uid can cause skin irritation or burns.
6. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts.
This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature
maximum power density, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best
possible battery packs. 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 can cause cell
damage.
Important: Analyses conrm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high performance
batteries.
