WARNING! For the purposes of recharing the battery, only use the WESSEX battery charger provided with this appliance. Do not attempt to use any other charger with the appliance.

• 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 another battery pack. Incorrect use may result in electric shock,overheating or  leakage of corrosive liquid from the battery.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery,avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause  irritation or burns.
• Do not place appliance or their batteries near fire or heat. Continuous intense sunlight, fire or other heat sources may cause an increased danger of explosion.
• Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of an open flame. An exploded battery can propel debris  and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water immediately.
• Do not charge battery in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Longer life and better performance can be obtained if the battery is charged when the air temperature is between 18ºC and 24ºC. Do not charge the battery in air temperature below 4ºC or above 40ºC. This is important as it can  prevent serious damage to the battery.
• Do not disassemble the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes may be emitted. Ensure fresh air and seek medical assistance in the event of discomfort.

Charger Safety Instructions

• The plug of the charger must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electic shock.

• Do not subject the appliance to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it near a heat source. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of fire or explosion.
• Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
• Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not attempt to charge appliance other than those supplied. The charger and appliance supplied with it are specifically designed to work together.
• Before each use, check the charger cable and plug. Do not use a defective charger and do not disassemble the charger. Incorrect reassembly may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
• Protect the charger against moisture and wet conditions. There is a danger of electric shock.
• Operate the charger only with the appropriate original batteries. Charging other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
• Avoid mechanical damage to the charger. This can result in internal short circuits.
• Do not operate the charger on easily inflammable surfaces(e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) The heating of the battery charger during the charging process could pose a fire hazard.
• Do not abuse the cord of the charger. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger.
• Keep the cord away front heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not operate the charger with a damaged cord or plug, which could cause shorting and electric shock. If damaged, immediately discontinue use.
