Notes
7Charge up the batteries com-
pletely (about 12 hours) before
you first use them or if you have
not used them for a long time.
7After each further use, charging
time is approx. 7 hours.
7The ambient temperature should
be between 5 °C and 40 °C.
7If you switch on the appliance
while it is charging, charging
will be interrupted.
7When fully charged, the appli-
ance works for around 60 min-
utes. It is not advisable to
charge the batteries after each
use. Generally, you should only
charge the batteries when they
are completely discharged. This
increases their service life. Do
not charge them every day.
