8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-
pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-
re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suff ered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated du-
ring the charging process, as the battery cells
may have suff ered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym-
ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,...)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-
commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental infl uences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety gog-
gles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe-
rature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and
cordless tools. Store the charger and your
cordless tool only in dry places with an am-
bient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to
40°C). Store the lithium-ion rechargeable bat-
tery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free-
zing. Battery packs which were stored below

EN
32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be
disposed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electro-
static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause
damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char-
ging and never touch the battery poles.
Battery Caution + Disposal
Disposal
Should your appliance need replacement af-
ter extended use, do not dispose of it with the
household refuse, but in an environmentally safe
way.
Waste produced by electrical machine
items should not be handled like normal
household rubbish. Please recycle where
recycle facilities exist. Check with your local
authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Always dispose of your battery pack according
to federal, state, and local regulations. Contact a
recycling agency in your area for recycling loca-
tions.
CAUTION! Even discharged battery packs
contain some energy. Before disposing, use elec-
trical tape to cover the terminals to prevent the
battery pack from shorting, which could cause a
fi re or explosion.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury or
explosion, never burn or incinerate a battery
pack even if it is damaged, dead, or completely
discharged. When burned, toxic fumes and mate-
rials are emitted into the surrounding atmosphere.
1. Batteries vary according to device. Consult
your manual for specifi c information.
2. Install only new batteries of the same type in
your product (where applicable).
3. Failure to insert batteries in the correct polari-
ty, as indicated in the battery compartment or
manual, may shorten the life of the batteries
or cause batteries to leak.
4. Do not mix old and new batteries.
5. Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc),
or Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium, Nickel
Metal Hydride, or Lithium-Ion) batteries.
6. Do not dispose of batteries in fi re.
7. Batteries should be recycled or disposed of
as per state and local guidelines.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
