General safety warnings

General machine safety warnings
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this machine. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.

The battery voltage must match the battery charging voltage of the charger. Do not charge any nonchargeable batteries.
Otherwise there is a risk of fire and explosion.
⇒ Do not expose the charger to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
⇒Keep the charger clean. Dirt poses a risk of electric shock.
⇒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.
⇒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.
⇒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.
⇒ 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 appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service 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.
⇒ These safety warnings apply only for lithium-ion batteries of the
POWER FOR ALL system PBA 18V.
⇒ 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.
⇒ 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.
⇒ 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.
⇒ Keep battery packs out of the reach of children.
⇒ Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
⇒ In case of damage and improper use of the battery, 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.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable 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 medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
⇒If the battery is damaged liquid can be ejected and cover nearby surfaces. Check affected parts.
Clean these parts or change them if necessary.
⇒ 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.
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.
⇒ 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, e. g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
⇒ 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.
⇒ Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature 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.
