Safety instructions for Li-ion batteries
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Do not open the battery.
There is a risk of a short-circuit.
Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from continuous exposure to sunlight, fire, water, and humidity.
There is a risk of explosion.
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapors may be emitted. Ventilate the area and
seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapors can irritate the respiratory system.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 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 irritation or burns.
Use only original batteries with the voltage indicated on the rating plate of your electric power tool. If
other batteries are used, e.g. imitations reconditioned batteries or third-party products, there is a risk
of injuries as well as damage caused by exploding batteries.
The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the battery charger. Otherwise, there
is a risk of fire and explosion.
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.
Pointed objects, such as nails or screwdrivers, or external forces may damage the battery. This may
cause an internal short-circuit and the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
NOTE
The batteries EP20, EP40, EP60 are certified according to IEC62133 (see page11).

Battery state of charge
 Press the button to check the state of charge at the state of charge indicator LED.
Information to ensure a long battery service life
–Never charge batteries at temperatures below 0°C or above 40°C.
–Do not charge batteries in an environment that has high air humidity or at a high ambient
temperature.
–Do not cover batteries and/or the battery charger during the charging process. Battery and
charger heat up during the charging process. This is perfectly normal! Lithium-ion batteries do not
exhibit the well-known “memory effect”. Nevertheless, before a battery is recharged, it should be
fully discharged and the charging process always runs to the end.
NOTE
–Follow the instructions for charging the battery in the operating instructions for the electric
power tool and the battery charger.
–Reduced operating times after recharging indicates that the battery is worn out. The battery
must be replaced. If the batteries are not used for a prolonged period, store batteries partially
charged and in a cool location (10–25 °C).
Transport
The equivalent lithium content of the batteries included in the product package is below the appropriate
limit values. Therefore, the battery as an individual component as well as the power tool and its product
package are not subject to national or international dangerous goods regulations.
If several machines with lithium-ion batteries are transported, these regulations may become relevant
and special safety measures may be required (e.g. for the packaging).
In this case, find out about the currently valid regulations for the country of use.
CAUTION!
Do not install batteries that have a damaged casing into the product.
