Safety instructions
Read all the safety information and instructions. Failure to observe the safety information and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
- Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the pump.
- Children must not be allowed to clean and perform maintenance on the pump or the charger without supervision.
- This pump can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of the pump and they understand the associated dangers. Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
- Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pump or these instructions to operate it.
- Ensure that the battery compartment cover is closed when operating the pump. Moisture inside the pump can lead to a short circuit.
- Do not use the pump to pump combustible or explosive liquids, such as petrol, oil, alcohol or solvents. Do not operate the pump in areas subject to explosion hazards. The liquids can easily ignite or explode.
- Do not use the pump to pump food or drink, such as drinking water. Lubricants can contaminate the fluids.
- Do not pump liquids from areas where people are present. If there are animals or foreign bodies in the areas, use a filter. This will prevent harm to people or animals.
- Remove the battery before you install the pump or perform any maintenance on it. This prevents accidental start-up of the pump.
The pump housing can become very hot when pumping hot liquids or if accidentally allowed to run dry. You could injure yourself.
Only use the pump in enclosed spaces and do not expose it to wet conditions.
- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another. A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
- Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.
Protect the rechargeable battery against heat, e.g. including prolonged sun exposure, fire, water, and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short circuit.
