GB

Electrical Safety:

• The plug of the charger must t
into the socket. The plug must
not be modied in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs
together with electric tools that
have a protective earth. Un-

modied plugs and matching

sockets reduce the risk of elec­tric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

cookers and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed.

• Do not expose electric tools to
rain or wet conditions. The pen­etration of water into an electric
tool increases the risk of electric
shock.

Observe the safety in-

formation and notes on
charging and proper
use as shown in the op­erating instructions for
your battery and charg­er from the Parkside

X20V Team series.
