get the fl uid in your eyes, also seek
medical advice. Leaking battery fl uid can
cause skin irritation or burns.
6. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only
by trained personnel using only genu-
ine spare parts. This will ensure that your
electric tool remains safe to use.
Hold the equipment by the insulated
handles when carrying out work during
which the screw or the plug-in tool could
strike concealed power cables. Contact
with a live cable may also make the metal parts of
the equipment live and cause an electric shock.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you
with batteries which feature maximum power den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have a
wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell
is initially formatted and its electrical characteristic
curves are recorded. These data are then used ex-
clusively to be able to assemble the best possible
battery packs. Despite all the safety precau-
tions, caution must always be exercised
when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to en-
sure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if unda-
maged cells are used. Incorrect handling
can cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses confi rm that incorrect use
and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
•
The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
•
For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
•
Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
•
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity falls
to just 80% of its capacity when new. Wea-
kened cells in an aged battery pack are no
longer capable of meeting the high power
requirements and therefore pose a safety risk.
•
Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
•
Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fire.
•
Do not exhaustively discharge bat-
teries. Exhaustive discharge will damage
the battery cells. The most common cause of
exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or
non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop
working as soon as the performance of the
battery falls noticeably or the electronic pro-
tection system triggers. Place the battery pack
in storage only after it has been fully charged.
•
Protect batteries and the tool from
overloads. Overloads will quickly result in
overheating and cell damage inside the bat-
tery housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
•
Avoid damage and shocks. Replace bat-
teries which have been dropped from a height
of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the
battery may have suffered serious damage. In
this respect, please also read the waste dispo-
sal information.
•
If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-off
will switch off the equipment for safety rea-
sons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery pack.
•
Use only original battery packs. The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosion
and a fire risk.
