formation caused by electrostatic discharge
when charging the battery.

CAUTION! Avoid explosive gases, flames and
sparks.
•
The charger contains components such as
the switch and fuses which may generate
arcs and sparks. It is essential to ensure that
there is good ventilation in the garage or
room.
•
The charger is suitable for maintenance-free
12V batteries only.
•
Do not charge any “non-rechargeable batte-
ries” or defective batteries.
•
Refer to the instructions supplied by the bat-

1.3 Safety precautions for batteries
1. Make sure at all times that the batteries are
fi
tted with the + and – terminals on the bat-
teries correctly positioned as shown on the
battery.
2. Do not short-circuit the batteries.
3. Do not recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
4. Do not exhaust the battery charge.
5. Do not heat batteries.
6. Do not do any welding or soldering directly on
batteries.
7. Do not disassemble batteries.
8. Do not deform batteries.
9. Do not throw batteries into a
fi
re.
10. Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
11. Do not allow children to change batteries wit-
hout supervision.
12. Do not store batteries near
fi
re, stoves or
other sources of heat. Do not expose the bat-
tery to direct sunlight. Do not use or store it in
vehicles in hot weather.
13. Keep unused batteries away from metallic
objects. This could cause the battery to short-
circuit and may therefore cause damage to
the battery, burns and even the risk of
fi
re.
14. Take the batteries out of the equipment if the
equipment is not going to be used for some
time.
