Battery/battery charger safety warnings
• Protect the battery charger from rain and moisture. The
penetration of water in a battery charger increases the risk
of electric shock.
• Always recharge the battery 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.
• Do not charge other batteries. The battery charger is
suitable only for charging lithium batteries within the
listed voltage range. Otherwise there is danger of fire and
explosion.
• Keep the battery clean. Contamination may cause the
danger of electric shock.
• Check the battery charger, cable, and plug each time before
using. Do not use the battery charger when defects
are detected. Do not open the battery charger yourself
and have it repaired only by qualified personnel using
original spare parts. Damaged battery chargers, cables,
and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate the battery charger on easily inflammable
surfaces (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in combustible
environments. Heat from the battery charger may ignite
flammable materials or combustible vapors.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek additional
medical help. The liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
• Do not open the battery yourself. There is a danger of a
short circuit.
• Protect the battery against heat, including continuous sun
irradiation and fire. There is a danger of explosion.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. There is a danger of
explosion.
