WARNING
• Avoid explosive gases, open flames and sparks. Explosion risk.
• Do not submerge the battery pack in water or expose it to large amounts of water or
other liquids (inside or outside of the tool).
• Avoid short-circuiting the battery pack. Make sure that the connections do not come in
contact with metal objects or water.
• Do not attempt to charge a wet battery pack.
• Do not use damaged battery packs. Stop using the battery pack and contact your
Holmatro dealer for instructions.
• Do not strike, crush, drop or throw the battery pack.
• Do not make direct solder connections on the battery pack.
• Do not open the battery pack.
• Protect the battery pack against direct solar radiation and other sources of heat.
• Do not put the battery pack into a microwave or a high-pressure container.
• When not in use, store the battery pack in a dry place, locked up securely and out of
reach of children.
• When disposing the battery pack, always observe the local regulations and/or the
instructions in this manual.
NOTICE
• Use the battery pack only with the specified battery charger.
• Use the battery pack only in the original application.
• Battery packs should be stored in well-ventilated, cool rooms. The maximum storage
temperature of 45 °C (113 °F) may not be exceeded.

sensory or mental competence, or because of their inexperience, should not use the
battery pack without guidance or instruction from a skilled person.
• Make sure children do not play with the battery pack.
2.7 Safety regulations with respect to Li-Ion battery packs
Li-Ion battery packs are entirely different from NiCad and NiMH battery packs and must be handled
differently. Before and after every use of your Li-Ion battery pack, inspect the battery pack carefully to
ensure no physical damage is evident, such as loose plugs and wires. Such signs often indicate that a
problem exists with the battery pack that could lead to failure.
2.8 Safety regulations with respect to battery chargers
• Read all instructions carefully before you use the battery charger.
• Only use a power supply with the correct voltage and frequency. See the electrical specifications on
the model plate.
• Use the battery charger only indoors.
• Do not expose the battery charger to damp or wet conditions.
• Never carry the battery charger by its power cord. Never pull the power cord to disconnect the
battery charger from the power outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Do not use the battery charger on a highly inflammable surface or in an inflammable environment.
• Do not attempt to charge a wet battery pack.
