Keep the battery charger away from rain or moisture. Penetration of water in the battery charger increases the risk of an electric shock. Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination can lead to danger of an electric shock.

Before each use, check the battery charger, cable and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself. Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician and only using original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

Do not place any objects on the battery charger and do not place the battery charger on soft surfaces. There is a risk of fire.

Always check that the mains voltage matches the voltage indicated on the rating plate of the battery charger.

Never use the charger if cable, plug or the unit itself has been damaged by external influences. Take the charger to the nearest service centre.

Never open the battery charger. If the battery charger is defective, take it to a service centre. Safety instructions for Li-ion batteries

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, vapours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours 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 screw- drivers, or external forces may damage the battery. This may cause an internal short-circuit and the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat. RedBack_Charger EC20-EC50_de-en-fr.book Seite 8 Freitag, 4. März 2016 8:33 08EC20 / EC50
