ture reference.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be eject-
ed from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tions or burns.
In case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the ar-
ea and seek medical help in case of complaints.
The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when
used with another battery pack.
If the battery becomes defective, liquid can es-
cape and come into contact with adjacent com-
ponents. Check any parts concerned. Clean
such parts or replace them, if required.
Use the battery only together with your
Ramset product. This is the only way to protect
the battery against dangerous overload.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force ap-
plied externally. An internal short circuit can oc-
cur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or
overheat.

Operation
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of
the Battery
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To en-
sure full capacity of the battery, completely charge
the battery in the battery charger before using your
power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time
without reducing its service life. Interrupting the
charging procedure does not damage the battery.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging by the “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”.
When the battery is empty, the machine is switched
off by means of a protective circuit: The inserted tool
no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch af-
ter the machine has been automatically
switched off. The battery can be damaged.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature con-
trol which allows charging only within a temperature
range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery ser-
vice life is achieved in this manner.
Store the battery only within a temperature range be-
tween –20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
