Rechargeable battery
■ Protect the rechargeable battery and the tool from heat, mois-
ture, water , e.g. also from permanent sunlight and fire. It could
explode.
■ The rechargeable battery must only be removed in the way
described in these instructions.
■ Do not open the tool or the rechargeable battery. This could
cause a short circuit. Please contact your retailer if you
encounter any problems.
■ Do not touch any electrolyte fluid that has escaped. Do not get
electrolyte fluid in your eyes. Immediately move tool away from
naked flames or sources of heat. Immediately remove contam-
inated clothing.
■ If electrolyte does escape from the battery, the following action
is necessary:
Contact with eyes:
Immediately rinse eyes with copious quantities of clean water ,
such as tap water , but do not rub. Seek medical attention.
Failure to take the appropriate action can result in loss of sight.
Contact with skin:
Immediately wash the areas affected with copious quantities of
clean water , e.g. tap water , or skin irritation may occur . If the
chemical penetrates clothing, take off clothing immediately and
wash the skin with water . If irritation persists after washing,
seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
If the rechargeable battery is damaged or used improperly,
vapours or electrolyte fluid may escape. Provide fresh air and
seek medical attention if you feel unwell or discomfort occurs.
The vapours may cause respiratory irritation.
■ The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be recharged at any
time without shortening its lifespan. Interrupting the charge
cycle will not damage the rechargeable battery.
■ When taking out of use for a long time, put the tool away with
battery charged. This will prolong the life of the lithium-ion
rechargeable battery.
■ When not in use, keep the rechargeable battery away from
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects that could short-circuit the contacts. Short-circuiting
the rechargeable battery contacts can cause burns or fire.
■ Do not short-circuit the rechargeable battery. It could explode.
■ Make sure the tool is switched off before fitting the recharge-
able battery. Inserting a rechargeable battery into a power tool
that is switched on can lead to accidents.
■ Only charge rechargeable batteries in chargers recommended
by the manufacturer . A charger suitable for specific recharge-
able batteries presents a risk of fire if it is used for charging
other rechargeable batteries. Only use rechargeable batteries
intended for use in power tools. The use of other rechargeable
batteries can result in injuries and the risk of fire.
■ Protect the rechargeable battery from moisture and water .
Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature ranging from
0 °C to 45 °C. Do not, for example, leave the rechargeable
battery inside a car during summer . From time to time, clean
the rechargeable battery's ventilation slots with a soft, clean
and dry paintbrush.
T ransport
■ The rechargeable battery conforms to UN manual ST/SG/AC.
10/11/Rev.3 Part III, sub-section 38.3. It is equipped with an
effective means to prevent inter nal pressure build-up and short
circuit as well as a means to preclude violent rupture and dan-
gerous reverse current flow. The lithium-equivalent quantity
contained in the rechargeable battery is below the relevant limit
values. Therefore, the rechargeable battery is not subject to
national or international dangerous goods regulations either as
an individual component or fitted in a device. However , these
regulations may become relevant if transporting several
rechargeable batteries. In this case, it may be necessary to
observe specific conditions (e.g. in relation to packaging).
■ The STEINEL BHG 360 li-ion power tool is intended for shap-
ing and welding plastic as well as for heating shrink tubing.
It can also be used for soldering and tin-plating as well as
ungluing bonded joints.
■ The LS - 36 V charger is only suitable for charging the
STEINEL li-ion 10 IMR 18/65-2 rechargeable battery
(type 0938).
Keep these safety precautions in a safe place together with the tool.

Please note the reference number shown on type plate of your charger . The trade names of some chargers may vary.
Battery charger
■ Keep the charger out of rain and do not expose it to moisture.
The risk of electric shock will be increased if water is allowed
to penetrate the charger .
■ Do not charge rechargeable batteries of other brands. The
charger is only suitable for charging the STEINEL li-ion 10 IMR
18/65-2 rechargeable battery within the stated voltage range.
They could otherwise catch fire or explode.
■ Keep the charger clean. Soiling may present the risk of an
electric shock.
■ Damaged chargers, cords and plug will increase the risk of
electric shock. Always check the charger , power cord and plug
before use. Do not use the charger if you notice any damage.
Do not open the charger yourself and only have it repaired by
a qualified electrician who must only use genuine replacement
parts.
■ Do not operate the charger on highly combustible surfaces
(e.g. paper , textiles etc.) or in combustible environments. There
is a risk of fire from the heat produced by the charger while it
is charging.
For your safety
The thermal cut-out shuts the tool down if it is overloaded.
Using the LS - 36 V charge station
Observe mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must
match the specifications shown on the type plate of your hot air
tool. T ools showing 230 V can also be operated on 220 V .
The charge cycle begins as soon as the charger is plugged in and
the rechargeable battery is inserted
14
into the charging slot
11
.
The intelligent charging process automatically identifies the
charge state of the rechargeable battery and charges it with the
charge current optimised for battery temperature and voltage.
This protects the rechargeable battery and always keeps it fully
charged when kept in the charger .
What the indicators mean
Charge cycle monitoring is signalised by LED
indicators
12
or
13
:
Fast charge mode
The fast charge mode is signalised by flashing
green LED indicator
13
. While charging,
the 3 green LED's on the rechargeable battery
light up in succession and then briefly go out.
The rechargeable battery is fully charged when
the 3 green LED's are permanently lit. The 3
green LED's go out again about 5 minutes after the recharge-
able battery has been fully charged.
The fast charge mode is only possible when the rechargeable
battery is at a temperature of between 0 °C and 45 °C.
Battery charged
Green LED indicator
13
lights up permanently
to signalise that the rechargeable battery is
fully charged. An acoustic signal lasting approx.
2 seconds is also given to signalise that the
rechargeable battery is fully charged.
The rechargeable battery can now be removed
for immediate use.
When the rechargeable battery is not inserted, the green LED
indicator
13
lights up permanently to signalise that the charger
is plugged into the power supply and ready for use.
