Charging the batteries
Danger
• Explosive gases can develop when charging the batteries.
Avoid smoking, fire or naked light in the vicinity of batteries.
Ensure sufficient ventilation when charging the batteries. Do not
inhale battery gases!
• Danger of explosion due to short circuits and spark formation!
Never place tools or other electrically conductive objects on the
battery!
Attention
• Before initially starting up the machine, charge the used batteries
fully and appropriately with commissioning charge. Hako
assumes no liability for battery damage resulting from insufficient
commissioning charge.
• Never leave batteries discharged, always recharge them
immediately.
• If possible, charge the batteries fully to ensure optimum service
life of the batteries. The charger is designed as a continuous
charger and retains the charging state of the batteries (trickle
charge) after completing the charging process.
Note
• Always charge the batteries after each application. If the machine
is not used for a longer period of time, interim charge the
batteries.
• The batteries should always be charged without being interrupted.
• During the charging process it is not possible to turn on the
machine.
