GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS GENERAL SAFE

GB

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 these instructions for later use.

• These safety warnings apply only for lithium-ion batteries!
• Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuit-ing.
• Whilst the battery is designed for use in all weather conditions, it is recommended to keep the contacts away from water and moisture. Contacts, which are connected though water or moisture for a longer period of time, may cor- rode or discharge the battery. This may result in loss of power and lifetime.
• Although the battery is suitable for use in all weather conditions, it should not be fully sub-merged in water, nor stored in a wet enviro-ment. Should this occur, allow battery to fully dry before re-use.
• Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical shock.
• 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.
• Use the battery only in conjunction with your Yard force power tool. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous overload.
• Use only original Yard force batteries with the volt-age listed on the nameplate of your power tool. When using other batteries, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries

or other brands, there is danger of injury as well as property damage through ex- ploding batteries.

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

Battery tool use and care

• Before any work on the machine itself (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 irritations or burns.
