BATTERY SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ATTENTION! The lithium-ion battery is partly charged
before shipping. To maintain charge and avoid damage
when not in use, the battery is programmed to enter Sleep mode. To
reactivate the battery, a quick recharge of around ten (10) seconds
is required.
If the battery cracks or breaks, with or without fluid leaks, do
not recharge it and do not use.
Dispose of it and replace with a new battery.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT!
To avoid injury and risk of fire, explosion or electric shock and
to avoid damaging the environment:
– Cover the battery's terminals with heavy-duty adhesive tape.
– DO NOT attempt to remove or destroy any of the battery
components.
– DO NOT attempt to open the battery.
1) For optimal battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles.
Charge the battery pack frequently.
2) Store the battery in a cool place, ideally at 15°C and charged to
at least 40%.
3) Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The
battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls
to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged
battery pack no longer meet the high performance requirements
and therefore pose a safety risk.
4) Do not throw battery packs into an open fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
5) Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.
6) DO NOT place the battery in places that are too hot and DO NOT
place the battery near sources of heat (fires, radiators, stoves,
etc.).
7) DO NOT connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery
with metal objects.
8) Do not exhaustively discharge the batteries. Exhaustive
discharge damages 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 protection cut-off trips. Place
the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.
9) Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads
will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside
the battery housing, even if the overheating is not apparent
externally.
10) Avoid damage, shocks and perforation! Immediately replace
batteries that have been dropped from a height of more than
one metre or which have been exposed to violent shocks, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The
cells inside the battery may have suffered serious damage. In this
respect, please also read the waste disposal information.
11) If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the
integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment for
safety reasons.
12) Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses
a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion. DO NOT
12
recharge batteries that are not rechargeable.
13) Protect the battery from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can
cause dangerous cell damage. DO NOT use water for cleaning.
14) In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape from the battery. Avoid
contact with it. If you touch it by mistake, rinse the affected area
with water. If you get the fluid in your eyes, also seek medical
advice. Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation or burns.
15) Only charge the batteries in battery chargers that are
recommended by the manufacturer. A battery charger designed
for a certain type of battery may pose a fire risk if it is used with
other types of batteries.
16) When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charge.
Electrostatic discharges can damage the protection circuit and
the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch
the battery poles.
17) Prevent children from playing with the battery.
18) Keep the battery clean and dry.
19) Retain this Instruction Book and refer to it before using the
battery.
20) Remove the battery from the equipment if you are not planning
to use the equipment for an extended period.
21) Do not use or charge rechargeable batteries if you suspect that the
last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously.
There is a high probability that the battery pack has already
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
22) Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause
chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fire.
23) Keep all danger and safety labels in perfect condition. If they
become damaged or worn, replace them immediately (see Fig. 3).
24) Please note that the owner or the user is responsible for any
accidents or damage to third parties or their property.
CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR (Battery Fuel Gauge)
To check the available charge, press the Battery Fuel Gauge button
(E, Fig.4). The display indicator lights (G, Fig.4) will indicate the
approximate amount of charge left in the battery.
• three green lights - from 100% to 78%
• two green lights - from 77% to 55%
• one green and one red light - from 54% to 33%
• one red light - from 32% to 10%
• one flashing red light - less than 10%
FITTING THE BATTERY (Fig.5)
• Align the battery guide on the slide of the battery holder (A).
• Push the battery (B) down.
• When you hear a click, it means that the battery is in the correct
position.
WARNING: If the battery is not in the correct position during
operation, the battery holder may generate a lot of heat or
even sparks.
WARNING: Check the contacts on the battery pack and on
the starter battery holder. If they are dirty or stained, clean
them using a dry cloth before use. Otherwise, contact malfunctions
may occur.
REMOVING THE BATTERY (Fig.5)
Press the button (C) with your thumb and at the same time,
positioning your other fingers under the battery, lift it out slowly.
