WARNING: Li-Ion batteries, if incorrectly used, stored or charged are a fire, burn and explosion hazard.
Use the battery charger correctly

Refer to the section of this manual relating to use of the battery charger before attempting to charge the battery.
Do not attempt to use the charger with any batteries other than those supplied. Keep the battery charger clean; Foreign objects and dirt can cause a short circuit and block the ventilation holes. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
Allow batteries to cool for 15 minutes after charging or heavy use. Failure to follow these instructions may cause overheating or fire.
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. Only use Li-Ion batteries provided with a product or specifically designed to be compatible.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
If the connection cable of the charger is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service workshop or a specialist before using it again.
The unit is designed for operation in altitudes of up to 2000 m above sea level.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack outside the temperature range between 0 and 40 °C. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Keep the battery out of reach of children.
When not in use batteries should be stored at room temperature (approximately 20 ˚C).

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from 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.
