CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning, switch off the device. Then remove the battery (if any) from the device and
isolate the device from the mains voltage.
Cleanthedevicewithasoft,cleananddrycloth.Donotuseaggressivedetergentsorchemi-
cals as these can damage the housing (discolouration).
DISPOSAL
Device
Never dispose of devices bearing the symbol opposite in the household waste.
Youareobligedtodisposeoftheseusedelectricalandelectronicdevices
separately.
Askyourlocalauthorityaboutthefacilitiesforcontrolleddisposal.Separate
disposal passes used devices for recycling or other forms of reuse. This helps
preventharmfulsubstancesfrominltratingtheenvironment.
Batteries
As the end user, you have a legal obligation (battery regulation) to return all
usedbatteries;disposingofbatteriesinthehouseholdwasteisprohibited!
Batteries containing harmful substances bear the symbols opposite. These
symbols mean that disposal in the household waste is prohibited. The designa-
tions for the decisive heavy metal area: Pb=lead (designation on the battery,
e.g. below the dustbin symbols, bottom left).
Youcanreturnyourusedbatteriesfreeofchargetoyourlocalcollectionpoints,
any of our branches or wherever batteries are sold!
In doing so, you are satisfying legal obligations and helping protect the environ-
ment.
SERVICE
Haveyourdevicerepairedonlybyqualiedpersons.Thiswillguaranteethatthedevice
remains safe.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Alwayskeepthedevicecoolanddry.
Protect the device from damage during transportation.
Isolatethebatterytobechargedfromallconsumersandleads(rstswitchoff•
all consumers!) before connecting it to the charger. Always isolate the earth
connection(minuspole)fromthebatteryrstandthenthepluspole.
Before connecting the battery to the consumer(s), isolate the charger from the
battery.
Sparkscanoccurwhenconnectingordisconnectingthebattery.Adequate
ventilation should therefore be provided!

CONNECTION AND OPERATION
Always make sure the DIP switches are set correctly for the mode in which
you are operating the device and for the battery type to be charged. There
is a risk of re and explosion!
Always make sure the DIP switches are set correctly for the input voltage
on the consumer. There is a risk of re and explosion!
