Safety notices for the charger

- Keep the charger away from rain and wet conditions. Water ingress into the charger increases the risk of an electric shock.

- Keep the charger clean. Dirt increases the risk of an electric shock.

• Before every use, check the charger, cable and plug. Do not use the charger if you notice any damage. Do not open the charger yourself but have it repaired exclusively by qualified specialists and only with original spare parts. Damaged chargers, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock. Do not place objects on the charger and do not put the charger on soft surfaces. Risk of fire
• Always check if the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
• Never use the charger if the cable, plug or the charger itself have been damaged by external influences. Take the charger to the nearest specialist service centre
• Do not open the charger under any circumstances. In the event of a fault, take it to a specialist service centre.

Safety notices for Li-Ion batteries

• Do not open the battery. Risk of short-circuiting!
• Protect the battery from heat, e.g. from constant sun exposure, and from fire, water and humidity. Risk of explosion.
• When the battery has been damaged or it is being used inappropriately, fumes can be released. Let fresh air in and consult a doctor if the fumes cause you any problems. The fumes can irritate the respiratory tract
• If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns

- Only use original batteries with the voltage specified on the rating plate of your power tool. If other batteries are used, e.g. imitations, reconditioned batteries or products from third party manufacturers, there is a risk of personal injury as well as property damage based on exploding batteries.

- The battery voltage must correspond with the battery charging voltage of the charger. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and explosion.

- Charge the batteries only in chargers that have been recommended by the manufacturer. There is a risk of fire if a charger for a particular type of battery is used for another type of battery.

- The battery can be damaged by sharp objects such as a nail or screwdriver or by external application of force. The battery may short-circuit and start burning, smoking, exploding or overheating.

Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions.

Use

CAUTION!

• Do not charge batteries in environments with high humidity or high temperatures.
• Do not cover the battery or the charger during charging.

Charging

CAUTION!

Insert original batteries only into the charger supplied.

NOTE

During charging, the battery and the charger will heat up. That is normal.

• Connect the mains plug with the socket (Fig. 1). The green LED will flash.
  • Fully insert the battery into the charger.

The red LED will come on and the battery will begin charging.

When the battery has been fully charged, the green LED will come on.

Error messages

If the red and green LEDs are flashing after the battery has been inserted, there is a problem with the battery or charger.

• The battery is too hot or too cold. When the battery has reached its charging temperature (0 °C - 40 °C), charging will begin.
• If the red and green LEDs are still flashing after a while: Remove the battery from the charger. Check the contacts on the charger and the battery for dirt and clean if required. Insert the battery again. If the same lights flash, the battery is faulty. Replace the battery or have it checked by a specialist service centre.
• If the same error message is displayed with another battery, the charger is faulty. Have the charger checked by a specialist service centre.

Advice for a long battery service life

Lithium-ion batteries do not have the known "memory effect". Nevertheless, a battery should be fully discharged before charging it, and the charging process should always be fully completed. If the batteries are not used for a while, store them partly charged in a cool place (10-25 °C).

NOTE: Reduced operating durations after charging indicate a worn battery. The battery must be replaced.

Maintenance and Care

⚠ WARNING! Disconnect the mains plug before all work. Do not use water or liquid detergents.

Cleaning

- Remove dirt and dust from the casing using a brush or a dry cloth.

Storage

• Store the device in a dry and frost-free (10-25 °C) place.
• Store the battery and the device separately from each other.
