General safety notes

CAUTION! Risk of explosion!

Do not dispose of batteries in household waste, fire or water. Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it on a heater (max. 45^ircC ).

Careful handling and use of battery devices

Charge the batteries only in chargers that are part of the X 12 V TEAM series. Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of battery is used with other batteries.

46 GB/IE

In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
- Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire.
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.

• Do not use damaged or altered batteries. Damaged or altered batteries can be unpredictable and lead to fire, explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose batteries to fire or elevated temperatures. Fire or temperatures over +130^ircC can cause an explosion.

• Follow all instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the battery-powered tool outside the temperature range stated in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging or charging outside the permitted temperature range may destroy the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Service

• Never repair damaged batteries. All battery repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised customer service centres only.

Special safety directions for battery-operated tools

Ensure that the device is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a power tool that is switched on may result in accidents.
- Recharge the batteries indoors only because the battery charger is designed for indoor use only.

To reduce the electric shock hazard, unplug the battery charger from the mains before cleaning the charger.
- Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it on a heater. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of explosion.
- Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
- Do not open up the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes may be emitted that irritate the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medical assistance in the event of discomfort.

• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries. The product could be damaged.
