− Never use the charger in environments with explosive or flammable  

materials. There is a risk of fire and explosion.

− Always make sure there is adequate ventilation when recharging the 

rechargeable battery. Gases may be produced.

− Only charge the rechargeable battery indoors as the charger is only  

intended for indoor use.

− Do not place any objects on the charger and do not cover it as this may 

cause it to overheat. Do not place the charger near a heat source.

− Protect the charger and the battery from heat, e.g. in permanent sunlight 

or fire, and also protect it from water and humidity. Otherwise, there is a 

risk of the rechargeable battery exploding.

Otherwise there is a risk of electric shock.

bathtub or washbasin.

immediately disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

charger is only intended for charging the same rechargeable battery also 

shipped with the charger. 

− Do not attempt to charge the rechargeable battery with a charger other 

than the enclosed one. The charger shipped with this power tool and the 

rechargeable battery must be used together.

equivalent rechargeable battery type. Refer to the chapter “Technical Data”.

membranes. In the event of contact with battery acid, immediately flush the 

affected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor immediately.
