Charger
1. Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. Do not use the
original charger on other li-ion batteries
or on any other type of battery, as this
can increase the risk of fire or explosion.
2. Check the battery charger, cable and
plug before each use. Do not use the
battery charger if damaged. Do not open
the battery charger yourself; the charger
must be repaired by qualified personnel
using original spare parts.
3. The charger is designed to use a
standard household 220-240 V~ 50Hz
power source. Ensure that the plug
matches the outlet.
4. Never modify the plug in any way, this
will reduce the risk of electric shock.

8
5. Do not abuse the cord of the charger.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the charger. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and
moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Make sure the charger cord is situated
so that it will not be stepped on, tripped
over or get damaged.
7. Keep the battery charger clean.
Contamination can increase the risk of
electric shock.
8. Protect the battery charger from rain
and moisture. If water accesses the
battery charger there is an increased risk
of electric shock.
9. Battery will heat up whilst charging. To
reduce the risk of fire, do not operate the
battery charger on flammable surfaces,
such as paper or textiles.
10. The temperature range over which the
battery pack can be charged is typically
between 5°C-45°C. Attempts to charge
outside of the prescribed temperature
range may automatically be blocked by
the protection circuitry of the battery
pack. Longest life and best performance
can be obtained if the battery pack is
charged at room temperature.
11. Disconnect the charger from the power
supply when not in use. This will reduce
the risk of electric shock or damage to
the charger.
