Transport

9 TRANSPORT
Transporting the appliance between two
working areas
■
Always switch off the appliance and carry it
by the handle.
■
Always re-fit the blade guard to avoid injury
to persons or animals.
Transporting the appliance over long
distances
NOTE
The nominal energy of the rechargeable
battery is less than 100 Wh. Therefore,
heed the following transport instructions.
The li-ion rechargeable battery contained in the
appliance is subject to the hazardous goods law,
but can be transported under simplified condi-
tions:
■
The undamaged rechargeable battery can be
transported on public roads by the private
user without further conditions provided it is
packaged for retail sale and the transport
serves personal purposes.
■
If damage to the battery (e.g. due to the ap-
pliance falling) is suspected, transport is not
permissible.
■
Commercial users who carry out the trans-
port in connection with their main activity
(e.g. delivery from and to building sites, or
demonstrations) can also take advantage of
this simplification.
In both cases, it is essential to take the mandat-
ory precautions mentioned above to prevent any
leakage of the contents. In other cases, it is es-
sential to comply with the regulations of the haz-
ardous goods law. In the case of non-compli-
ance, severe penalties can be imposed on the
sender and possibly the transporter.
Additional notes on transport and shipment
■
Only transport or ship lithium-ion re-
chargeable batteries in an undamaged state.
■
Secure the appliance in such a way as to
prevent it from starting to operate inadvert-
ently during transport.
■
Secure the appliance with strong outer pack-
aging (cardboard shipment box).
■
Ensure the correct marking and documenta-
tion of the shipment during transport or ship-
ping (e.g. by parcel service or freight forward-
ing).

specialist in the preparation of the shipment.
