Safety
■
Keep the unused re-
chargeable battery away
from paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that
could short-circuit the con-
tacts. A short circuit between
the rechargeable battery con-
tacts can result in burns or
fire.
■
Incorrect use can result in
fluid leaking out of the re-
chargeable battery. Avoid
coming into contact with it.
In case of inadvertent con-
tact, rinse off with water. If
the fluid gets into your
eyes, additionally seek
medical assistance. Leaking
rechargeable battery fluid can
lead to skin irritations or
burns.
■
Do not use a damaged or
changed rechargeable bat-
tery. Damaged or changed
batteries can behave unpre-
dictably and lead to fire, ex-
plosion or a risk of injury.
■
Do not expose a re-
chargeable battery to fire or
high temperatures. Fire or
temperatures over 130 °C can
cause an explosion.
■
Comply with all of the in-
structions for charging, and
never charge the re-
442360_a
chargeable battery or the
rechargeable battery-oper-
ated tool outside of the tem-
perature range specified in
the operating instructions.
Incorrect charging or charging
outside of the permissible
temperature range can des-
troy the rechargeable battery
and increase the risk of fire.
