Safety instructions
Read all the safety information and general instructions. Failure
to observe the safety information and general instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all the safety information and general instructions for fu-
ture reference.
Use only the rechargeable batteries listed in the technical data. Using other bat-
u
teries can lead to injuries and pose a fire hazard.
Do not insert the battery into the battery adapter if the release buttons are
u
broken or faulty. The battery may fall out during operation.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
u
In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The
u
battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek med-
ical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the
respiratory system.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected
u
from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accident-
ally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes,
seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-
tion or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or
u
by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery
to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
u
screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one ter-
minal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a
fire.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion
and short-circuiting.
