Basic safety instructions
Always place the charging unit on a well ventilated and non-inflammable
surface because it heats up during the charging process. Keep the ventila-
tion slots clear and do not cover the appliance.
Before connecting the charging unit, make sure that the mains voltage
matches the voltage stated in the "Technical data" section.
Only use the mains cable for connecting the charging unit, not for other
purposes. Do not carry the charging unit by the mains cable and do not
remove the power plug from the power outlet by pulling on the mains cable.
Protect the mains cable from heat, oil and sharp edges to prevent it being
damaged.
Do not use the charging unit and rechargeable battery when soiled or wet.
Before using the appliance, clean and dry the rechargeable battery.
Keep the charged and unused rechargeable battery away from metallic ob-
jects to prevent bridging the contacts (e.g. paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws). Burns or fire can result from a short-circuit.
Only insert original rechargeable batteries from AL-KO in the charging unit.
Do not open the charging unit or rechargeable battery. There is a danger of
electric shock and short-circuit.
For your own safety, only have your appliance repaired by qualified specia-
list personnel using original spare parts.
An improperly used and damaged rechargeable battery can cause vapours
and electrolyte fluid to escape. Vent the room adequately and in the case
of any disorders, consult a doctor.
Upon contact with electrolyte fluid, wash off with copious amounts of water
and immediately rinse the eyes thoroughly. Then consult a doctor.
