Otherwise there is a risk of fire and
explosion.
Do not expose the charger
v
to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
v Keep the charger clean.
Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
v Always check the charger, cable
and plug before use. Stop using
the charger if you discover any
damage. Do not open the charg-
er yourself, and have it repaired
only by a qualified specialist
using only original replacement
parts. Damaged chargers, cables
and plugs increase the risk of electric
shock.
v Do not operate the charger on an
easily ignited surface (e. g. paper,
textiles, etc.) or in a flammable
environment. There is a risk of fire
due to the charger heating up during
operation.
v Recharge only 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.
v In case of damage and improper
use of the battery, vapours may
also be emitted.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and
seek medical attention should you
experience any adverse effects. The
vapours may irritate the respiratory
system.
v Under abusive conditions, liquid
may be ejected from the battery.
Contact with this liquid should be
avoided. If contact accidentally
occurs, rinse off with water. If the
liquid comes into contact with
your eyes, seek additional medi-
cal attention. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
v In order to avoid safety hazards, if
the power supply cord needs to be
replaced, this must be done by
GARDENA or by a customer service
centre that is authorised to repair
GARDENA power tools.
