Mounting and Operation
Starting
f
Before any work on the machine (e. g. maintenance,
changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport
and storage, lock the On/Off switch in the off position.
There is danger of injury when the On/Off switch is unin-
tentionally actuated.
Battery Charging
f
Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery
charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion battery in your ma-
chine.
f
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the name-
plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
f
The voltage range of the charger is 100–240 V. Ensure
that the plug matchs the outlet.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery before
using your power tool for the first time.
The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)” protects the lithium ion
battery against deep discharging. When the battery is run
down or discharged, the garden product is shut off by means
of a protective circuit: The garden product no longer oper-
ates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the machine has been au-
tomatically switched off. The battery can be damaged.
Plug the mains plug of the battery charger into a socket outlet
and the charger plug into the socket on the rear side of the
handle, in one way only.
The charging procedure starts as soon as the charger plug of
the battery charger is inserted into the socket.
The battery charge-control indicator indicates the charging
progress. During the charging process, the indicator flashes
green. When the battery charge-control indicator lights up
green continuously, the battery is fully charged.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine
warms up. This is normal.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when
not using it for longer periods.
The power tool cannot be used during the charge procedure;
it is not defective when inoperative during the charging proce-
dure.
f
Protect the battery charger against moisture!
