Anti-lock protection: If the motor is blocked (overcurrent),
the pump switches off automatically.
v Contact the GARDENA Service.
Automatic venting: This pump is equipped with a vent
valve which eliminates any air pockets in the pump.
Depending on the function, a small amount of water can
escape above the type plate.
Additional safety warnings
Battery safety
Read all the safety and general
instructions.
Failure to observe the safety and general instructions may
result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
Store these instructions in a safe place. Only use
the charger if you can fully evaluate all functions and carry
them out without restrictions, or if you have received
corresponding instructions.
v Supervise children during use, cleaning and
maintenance. This will ensure that children do not
play with the charger.
v Charge only lithium-ion batteries of the POWER
FOR ALL system type PBA 18V with a capacity of
1.5 Ah or more (5 battery cells or more). The bat-
tery voltage must match the battery charging
voltage of the charger. Do not charge any non-
rechargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
Do not expose the charger to rain or wet
v
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric 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 charger 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 flamma-
ble environment. There is a risk of fire due to the
charger heating up during operation.
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.
v Do not operate the product while it is charging.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with
an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse
(ASTA approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for
your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropri-
ate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer ser-
vice agent. The replacement plug should have the same
fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be
disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should
never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
v These safety warnings apply only for lithium-ion
batteries of the POWER FOR ALL system
PBA 18V.
14600-20.960.01.indb 15
v Only use the battery with products of the POWER
FOR ALL system manufacturers.
This is the only way in which you can protect the
battery against dangerous overload.
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 The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full battery capacity, fully charge the battery
in the charger before using your power tool for the
first time.
v Keep battery packs out of the reach of children.
v Do not open the battery.
There is a risk of short-circuiting.
v In case of damage and improper use of the bat-
tery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can
set alight or explode.
Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical
attention should you experience any adverse effects.
The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
v If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged,
flammable liquid may be ejected from the bat-
tery. 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 medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
v If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected
and cover nearby surfaces. Check affected parts.
Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
v Do not short-circuit the battery pack. When the
battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that
can make a connection from one terminal to
another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
v The battery can be damaged by pointed objects
such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied
externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery
to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
v Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by
the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Protect the battery against heat,
v
e. g. against continuous intense sunlight,
fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v Only operate and store the battery at an ambient
temperature between – 20 °C and + 50 °C.
Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer,
for example. At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices
may experience a loss of power.
v Only charge the battery at an ambient tempera-
ture which is between 0 °C and + 45 °C.
Charging outside of this temperature range can
increase the risk of damage to the battery and pose
a fire hazard.
