Additional Instructions For Work With The Battery Pack - SPARKY BR 9,6E Instrucciones De Uso

WARNING: Do not allow any liquid to come
into contact with the charger. There is a danger of
electric shock.
▪ The charger is not intended for any use other than
charging the exact type of SPARKY rechargeable
battery pack as supplied with the charger. Any other
use may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ The charger and battery packs supplied with it are
specifically designed to work together. Do not attempt
to charge the battery pack with any other charger than
the one supplied.
▪ Do not place any object on top of the charger as it
could cause overheating. Do not place the charger
near any heat source.
▪ Do not pull on the lead of the charger to disconnect it
from the power source.
▪ Make sure that the charger cord is positioned where it
will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
▪ Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord
could cause the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a
heavy knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any
way. Do not operate charger with damaged cord or
plug - have them replaced immediately. Take the
charger to an authorised service centre for a check or
repair.
▪ Do not disassemble the charger. Take it to an author-
ised service centre when service or repair is required.
Incorrect re-assembly may result in the risk of fire or
electric shock.
▪ To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to
clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce
the risk.
▪ Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
▪ Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in lo-
cations where the temperature may reach or exceed
104°F (40°C) such as alongside sheds, trailers or
metal structures during summer.
▪ The charger is designed for use from a standard
household electrical supply (230–240V). Do not at-
tempt to connect the charger to a supply with a differ-
ent supply.
▪ If you wish to charge a second battery pack, unplug
the charger from the mains supply and leave it for at
least 15 minutes. After this time you can charge a sec-
ond battery pack.
▪ Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in
to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-
up of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the
power supply when there is no battery pack in the cav-
ity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
▪ Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any
other liquid.

Additional instructions
for work with the
battery pack
▪ The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition. You should charge the battery
pack fully before use.
WARNING: If the battery pack is cracked or
damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the charg-
er. There is a danger of electric shock.
▪ To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 18–24°C.
Do not charge the battery pack when the temperature
is below 0°C, or above 40°C. This is important. Failure
to observe this safety rule could cause serious dam-
age to the battery pack.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery packs
in direct sunlight in hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area
during charging
▪ A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells
may occur under extreme usage or temperature con-
ditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your
skin:
Wash quickly with soap and water.
Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vin-
egar.
If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is 25-35% solution of potas-
sium hydroxide.)
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately
65°F–75°F (18°C–24°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service centre.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs, which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under
these conditions. Follow the charging procedure.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
▪ To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsu-
lated trailer.
