Battery and Disposal
CAUTION: The battery used in
this device may present a risk of re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not disassemble or heat above manufacturer’s maximum temperature limit (60°C/140°F) or incinerate. Use of another battery may present a risk of re or explosion.
The battery is to be disposed of
safely at your local battery recycling centre.
Do not attempt to disassemble
the battery, remove any component projecting from the battery terminals and do not dispose of in a re. The battery and charger have no user serviceable parts. Fire or injury may result.
Battery Safety Precautions:
Do not place vacuum or batteries
near re or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possible injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger
that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ame. An exploded battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, ush with water immediately.
Do not charge vacuum in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
For best results, charge the battery tool in a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but less than 37°C. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
do not store outside or in vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with the skin, wash immediately with soap and water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid gets into the eyes, ush them with clean water for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C.
The battery must be removed from the appliance before it is scrapped.
4
The appliance must be disconnected from the supply mains when ever removing the battery.
The battery is to be disposed of safely.

ARNING: WARNING: For the
!
purpose of recharging the battery, only use detachable
supply unit type ZD24W340060 provided with this appliance.
Charger Safety Precautions:
The charger must not be damp, and should never be used in a damp environment.
Do not use the charger if it has suered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any other way.
Do not conduct charging in a position which may become exposed to sunlight or other heat
source. Recommended temperature range at charging vicinity is 10° to 25° C.
Do not conduct charging operations in the vicinity of ammable materials. Example: Cloth,
packaging materials, paint, spray paint or aerosols, lubricant, thinners, petrol containers, gas
containers or gas appliances.
Do not cover any ventilating slots and provide adequate ventilation during operation.
Never modify, disassemble or attempt to repair the product yourself.
Do not allow the charger or
batteries to become contaminated with any material which could
be conductive.
