ABOUT THE BATTERY

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless tool is only partially charged. The battery pack has to

be charged completely before you use the tool for the first time.

2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge cycles by charging the battery pack fre-

quently.

3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging process. The battery pack must be replaced at the

latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery

pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of

your tool, and therefore pose a safety risk.

4. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a risk of explosion. Do not ignite the bat

tery pack or expose it to fire.

5. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The

most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged bat-

teries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protec-

tion system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

6. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads will quickly result in overheating and cell

damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.

7. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries that have been dropped from a height of

more than one meter or those that have been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the

battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suffered serious

damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.

8. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the integrated protective cutoff will switch

off the equipment for safety reasons.

9. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries poses a fire risk and may result in injuries

or an explosion.

10. You must fully charge the battery every 3 months. See the tables on pages 13 & 14 to understand

what the LED lights on your battery and charger indicate.

WARNING: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste.

Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling ad

vice.

WARNING: To reduce risk of injury, charge only WEN batteries with this charger. Other types

of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
