Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be
guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of
the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible
for personal and/or product damage.
mWARNING! Use only approved replacement batteries;
other batteries may damage the power tool and cause it to
malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
mWARNING! Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery pack is maintained.

Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless power tool is
only partially charged. The battery pack has to be charged
completely before you use the tool for the first time.
2. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge
cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F (25°C)
and charged to at least 40%.
4. 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 cordless pole + pruning saw,
and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire as this poses a
risk of explosion.
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to fire.

5
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. A complete
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common
cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage. Stop
working as soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. For
optimum battery performance, charge the battery pack
frequently. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has
been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from overloads. Overloads
will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside
the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent
externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace batteries that
have been dropped from a height of more than 3 feet
(1 meter) or those that have been exposed to violent shocks,
even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be
undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have
suffered serious damage. In such instances, please read the
waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and overheating, the
integrated protective cutoff will switch off the equipment for
safety reasons.
IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF trigger switch any
more if the protective cut-off has been activated. This may
damage the battery pack.
11. Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
12. Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
13. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
14. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of
injury.
15. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 266°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
16. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or appliance outside of the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside of the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
Information about the charger and the

tool out of the reach of children.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to charge other
cordless tools.
6. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature
before inserting it into the charger to recharge.
7. Do not overcharge batteries. Do not exceed the maximum
charging times. These charging times only apply to
discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or
partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and
cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days
on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you suspect that it has been
more than 12 months since the last time they were charged.
There is a high probability that the battery pack has already
suffered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below 41°F (5°C) will
cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat during
the charging process, as the battery cells may have suffered
dangerous damage.
