Safety instructions.

Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all safety warnings and instructions for future reference.

These safety warnings apply only for 18V FEIN AMP-Share Li-ion batteries.

Use the battery only in AMPShare partner products.

18V batteries marked with AMPShare are fully compatible with the following products:

- All products of the FEIN-18V-AMPShare system

- All 18V products from AMPShare partners.

When working with and charging incorrect, damaged, repaired or reconditioned batteries, imitations or other brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion.

Observe the battery recommendations in the operating instructions for your product. Only in this way can the battery and the product be operated safely, and the batteries are protected from dangerous overload.

Only charge the batteries with chargers recommended by FEIN or one of the AMPShare partners. A charger that is suitable one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full battery capacity, completely charge the battery in the battery charger before using for the first time.

Store batteries out of the reach of children.

Batteries must not be disassembled, opened or reduced in size. Do not subject batteries to mechanical impact or shock. Hazardous vapours and fluid can escape in case of damage and improper use of the battery. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or burns.

In case of skin contact with battery fluid, rinse immediately with plenty of water. In case of eye contact with battery fluid, wash out the eye with clean water and immediately seek a doctor for treatment!

When the battery fluid has come into contact with objects close by, check the respective components. Avoid skin contact by wearing protective gloves. Clean the parts with dry household paper or replace the parts if necessary. Escaping vapours can irritate the respiratory system. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause skin irritations or burns.

Do not short-circuit the battery. Keep the battery not being used away from 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.

The battery can be damaged by sharp objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by external force. An internal short-circuit may occur and the battery can burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Never maintain damaged batteries. Any maintenance of batteries should be performed only by the manufacturer or by authorised after-sales service centers.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, debris, water, and moisture. Danger of explosion and short-circuiting.

Operate and store the battery only at ambient temperatures between -20 °C and +50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in a vehicle in summer. At temperatures < 0 °C, machine-specific performance restrictions are possible.

Charge the battery only at ambient temperatures between 0 °C and +35 °C. Charge the battery via USB connection only at ambient temperatures between +10 °C and +35 °C. Charging the battery outside the temperature range may damage the battery or increase the risk of fire.

Handle discharged batteries with care. Batteries are a source of danger, as they can cause a very high short-circuit current. Even when Li-ion batteries appear to be in a discharged state, they never fully discharge.

Do not immerse the battery in liquids, such as (salt) water or beverages. Contact with liquids can damage the battery. This may result in heat build-up, smoke generation, ignition or explosion of the battery. Do not continue to use the battery and contact an after-sales service authorized by FEIN.

Do not use a damaged battery. The use of a battery must be stopped immediately as soon as abnormal properties, such as odour development, heat, discolouration or deformation occur. Continued operation can cause the battery to generate heat and smoke, ignite or explode.

Do not open, crush, overheat or set fire to the battery. Non-observance of this warning may result in burns and fire. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Extinguish burning Li-ion batteries with water, sand or a fire blanket.

Avoid physical blows/impact. Impact and penetration of objects can damage batteries. This may result in leakage, heat build-up, smoke generation, ignition or explosion of the battery.

Never charge the battery unattended overnight. Fire and explosion hazards can result in case of non-observance.

Do not remove the battery from its original packaging until it is going to be used.

Remove the battery only when the power tool is switched off.

Before any work on the machine itself, remove the battery from the power tool. If the power tool accidentally starts, there is danger of injury.

Protect the battery against moisture and water. Clean contaminated battery terminals and power tool connections with a dry, clean cloth.

Remove the battery when transporting and storing the power tool.

Observe the safety instructions in the manuals of the chargers from FEIN or the AMPShare partners.

Observe the safety and operating instructions for the battery in the operating manual of the respective power tool.
