Safety instructions for battery and charger
-
Do not try to charge other batteries using the charger even if they have the same speci cations as the battery provided.
-
Do not try to charge the batteries using a diff erent charger even if it has the same speci cations as the charger provided.
-
Protect the charger’s and the battery’s terminals when the parts are not in use. If they come into contact with liquids, metal parts or other conductive materials, the charger or battery may short circuit.
-
Never use the charger if the battery, charger or cord is damaged.
-
The battery must only be charged indoors at an ambient temperature of 5-40 °C.
-
The battery and charger may get hot during charging. This is completely normal.
-
Use only batteries and chargers that are designed for this machine.
Batteries -
Must not be opened under any circumstances.
-
Must not be stored in places where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
-
May only be charged at an ambient temperature of between 4 °C and 40 °C.
-
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the applicable regulations.
-
Make sure they cannot be short-circuited. If a connection is created between the positive (+) and the negative (-) pole, directly or due to accidental contact with metal objects, the battery will short-circuit. The result will be a very high current, which generates heat and can cause are, or the battery to crack.
-
Must not be heated. If the batteries
are heated to above 100 °C, the seal and dividing plates and other polymer components may be damaged as a result of electrolyte seepage and/or internal short circuit, which will result in the generation of heat that may cause cracks in the battery or are. The batteries must not be burned, as this may cause an explosion and/or severe burns. -
Under extreme conditions, the battery may leak. If you notice liquid on the battery, do the following:
-
Carefully wipe off the liquid with a cloth. Avoid contact with the skin.
-
If the liquid gets on your skin or in your eyes, follow these steps:
- Rinse immediately with water. Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
-
If you get liquid in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least ten minutes. Consult a doctor.
