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 a fi re, 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 a fi re. 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.
Risk of fi re! Do not short-circuit the
contacts on a disconnected battery.
Do not burn the battery.
Chargers
• Do not attempt to charge disposable
batteries.
• Ensure defective cables are replaced
immediately.
• Keep away from water.
• The charger must not be opened.
• Never insert anything into the charger.
• The charger is only intended for indoor
use.
NB!
The battery is not fully charged on delivery. It
must be charged fully prior to initial use. The
battery only reaches its full capacity once it
has been charged and discharged around 5
times.
If the battery is not to be used for a
prolonged period, you must charge it up to
50-70% before storing it and then recharge it
again every three months.
