For Your Safety
Before any work on the garden product itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.)as wellas duringtrans-
port and storage, remove the battery from the garden
product.Thereis danger of injurywhen unintentionallyac-
tuating the On/Off switch.
The machine continues to blow for a few seconds after
beingswitched off. Allow the motor to stop rotatingbe-
fore switching “on” again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
Battery Charging
Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied battery
charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion battery in your gar-
den product.
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.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between0 °C
and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
Note:The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
batterychargerbeforeusing your power toolforthefirsttime.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The“Electronic CellProtection (ECP)” protectsthe 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 operates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off
switch after the garden product has
been automatically switched off. The battery can be dam-
aged.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of
the battery charger is plugged into the socket outlet and the
battery is inserted into the charging compartment .
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-
tionof thebattery is automaticallydetected and thebatteryis
charged with the optimum charging current, depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully
charged when kept in the charger for storage.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
(Fast) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by
fast flashing of the green battery charge indi-
cator .
Note:Therapid-charging procedureisonly possiblewhenthe

ature range, see section “Technical Data”.
(Slow) Flashing of the Green Battery Charge
Indicator
When the charging condition of the battery is
80 %, the green battery charge indicator
flashes slowly.
The battery can be removed for immediate use.
Continuous Lighting of the Green Battery Charge

serted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.
Continuous Lighting of the Red Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuouslighting ofthe red batterycharge
indicator indicates that thetemperatureofthe
battery is not within the allowable charging temperature
range, see section “Technical Data”. As soon as the allowable
charging temperature range is reached, the battery charger
automatically switches to rapid charging.
Flashing Red Battery Charge Indicator
A flashing red battery charge indicator indi-
cates a different malfunction of the charging
