Information on chargers and the charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Be
sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked
on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from damage and sharp edges. Have
damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualified electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the cordless tool out of children's
reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow the battery pack to
cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum charging times.
These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of
a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell
damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that the last time they were
charged was more than 12 months previously. There is a high probability
that the battery pack has already suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive
discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 10°C will cause chemical damage
to the cell and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated during the charging process, as the
battery cells may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered curvature or deformation during
the charging process or which show other non-typical symptoms (gassing,
hissing, cracking ...)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (recommended depth of discharge
max. 80 %). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature
ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger from moisture and rain.
Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near vapors and inflam-
mable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry conditions and an
ambient temperature of 10 – 40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the temperature is liable to
reach over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is
parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads, over-charging and exposure
to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or
work with batteries which have been overheated – replace them immediately
if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and cordless tools. Store the charger
and your cordless tool only in dry places with an ambient temperature of
10 – 40°C. Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a tem-
perature of 10 – 20°C. Protect them from humidity and direct sunlight. Only
place fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40 %).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery packs which were
stored below 0°C for more than 60 minutes must be disposed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electrostatic charge: Electrostatic dis-
charges cause damage of the electronic protection system and the battery
cells. Avoid electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.
Rechargeable batteries and cordless electric machines and tools contain
materials that are potentially harmful to the environment. Never place any
cordless electric machines or tools in your household refuse. When cordless
electric machines or tools become defective or worn, remove the recharge-
able batteries and return them to iSC GmbH (address: Eschenstrasse 6,
D-94405 Landau, Germany). If the rechargeable batteries cannot be removed,
return the complete cordless machine or tool. You can then be sure that the
equipment will be correctly disposed of by the manufacturer.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that
they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires.
