 Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/Off switch or
inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
 Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting. Protect the battery against heat, e.g.,
also against continuous sun irradiation and fire. There is danger of explosion.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide for
fresh air and seek medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system.
 When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into contact with adjacent
components. Check any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
 Use the battery only in conjunction with your power tool. This measure alone protects the
battery against dangerous overload.
 Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories.
 Application tools/ accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
 Do not scrape wetted materials (e. g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water
into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
 Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being
warmed up by the scraping can cause toxic vapours to develop.
 Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper. The accessory is very sharp; danger
of injury.
7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND
CHARGERS
7.1 Batteries (6)
 Never attempt to open for any reason.
 Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.
 Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.
 Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.
 When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the
environment”.
 Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited
and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture
or fire.
 Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators
and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or
internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not
dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.
 Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the
battery, proceed as follows:
 Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
 In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:
o Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such
as lemon juice or vinegar.
o In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at
least 10 minutes. Consult a physician.
Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do
not incinerate the battery.
7.2 Chargers (5)
 Use the charger provided with the tool only to charge the battery
