Protection against deep discharge
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharge by the electronic cell protection. When the battery is discharged, the power tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit; it no longer rotates. However, you should never let it go that far; you should recharge the battery once you realize your power tool is apparently slowing down.
Maintenance and service
- To ensure safe and efficient operation, always keep the power tool clean.
- If the power tool is no longer working and/or the battery needs to be replaced, this must be done by KAVAN or by a KAVAN authorised service centre.
Transport
The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. The batteries are suitable for road transport by the user without further restrictions. When shi pping by third parties (e.g. by air transport), special requirements on packaging and labelling must be observed.
