• Battery Acid Hazard: If accidental damage occurs to the battery or it is used under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• If Contact Occurs, quickly flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes flush with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical help. Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25 - 35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
• Connecting A Battery: Before connecting a battery to a power tool always ensure that the on/off switch is locked in the off position. Unintentional activation of the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Transporting The Tool: Always remove the battery before transporting the tool when transporting the tool to avoid unintentional activation.
• Charger: Recharge only with the charger specified by the BLAUPUNKT. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

• Short Circuit Hazard: When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Do Not Open: Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not recharge it.
• Disposal: When the battery reaches the end of its life or is disposed of for any other reason, it must not be disposed of in household waste. In order to protect the environment please take to your local waste recycling centre or other authorised collection and disposal facility.
