battery pack frequently.
c) Store the battery pack in a cool
place, ideally at 77°F (25°C)
and fully charged.
d) Lithium-ion batteries are subject
to a natural aging process. The
battery pack must be replaced
at the latest when its capacity
falls to just 80% of its capacity
when new. Weakened cells in an
aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high
power requirements needed for
the proper operation of your pole
hedge trimmer, and therefore
pose a safety risk.
e) Do not throw battery packs into
an open re as this poses a risk
of explosion.
f) Do not ignite the battery pack or
expose it to re.
g) Do not exhaustively discharge

water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
n) Do not use a battery pack or
appliance that is damaged
or modied. Damaged or
modied batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting
in re, explosion or risk of injury.
o) Do not expose a battery pack
or appliance to re or excessive
temperature. Exposure to re
or temperature above 266ºF
(130°C) may cause explosion.
p) Follow all charging instructions
and do not charge the battery
pack or appliance outside of
the temperature range specied
in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures
outside of the specied range
may damage the battery and
increase the risk of re.
