charger from the mains supply and leave it for at least
15 minutes. After this time you can charge a second
battery pack.
Additional safety rules for the battery pack
• The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition. You should charge the battery pack
fully before use.
• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk
of injury and fire.
• To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 18–24°C. Do not charge the
battery pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or
above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe
this safety rule could cause serious damage to the
battery pack.
• When battery pack is not in use keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks open
or cracks, immediately discontinue its use and do not
recharge it.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
• The battery pack utilizes nickel-cadmium cells.
Cadmium is considered to be a toxic material. Use an
environmentally safe disposal unit at a municipal waste
disposal centre to dispose of a damaged or worn
out battery.
Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
