v
Protect the battery against heat, e. g. against continuous intense
sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture.
There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.
v
Only operate and store the battery at an ambient temperature between
– 20 °C and + 50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for exam-
ple. At temperatures of < 0 °C some devices may experience a loss of power.
v
Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature which is between
0 °C and + 45 °C. Charging outside of this temperature range can increase the
risk of damage to the battery and pose a fire hazard.
v
After use, allow the battery to cool down for at least 30 minutes before
charging or storing.

Personal safety
DANGER! Risk of suffocation!
Small parts can be easily swallowed. There is also a risk that the poly-
bag can suffocate toddlers. Keep toddlers away when you assemble the
product.
Finger entrapment: Watch out for your fingers while assembling the protective cover.
If the trimmer vibrates heavily, replace the blade and check the blade holder for
damage.
Check the wear rib if ok before usage.
Use the front handle to transport the trimmer.
Use personal protective equipment.
Wear gloves for cleaning the cutting device.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as gloves, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Be careful during adjustment of the product to prevent entrapment of the fingers
between moving and fixed parts of the machine, or while assembling the protec-
tive cover.
Don't use water, or chemical substances for cleaning the guard or other parts of
the trimmer.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure the product is in a safe working
condition.
Do not disassemble the product further than the delivery status.
Warning! When wearing hearing protection, and due to the noise produced by the
product, the operator may not notice persons approaching.
While operation and transport pay special attention to the hazard for other people.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.

3. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of physical injury!
Cut injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Wait for the plastic blade to stop and remove the battery
before you transport the product.
To charge the battery [ Fig. O1 / O2 / O3 ]:
CAUTION!
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must
match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
For the GARDENA Battery Trimmer Art. 14702-55 there is no
battery and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the
battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal
charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully
charged when it is stored in the charger.
1. Push the locking button
(A)
and remove the battery
(B)
from the battery
holder
(D)
.
2. Connect the battery charger
(C)
into a mains socket.
3. Slide the battery charger
(C)
onto the battery
(B)
.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger flashes green
the battery is being charged.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger illuminates
permanently green the battery is completely charged
(Charging time, see 7. TECHNICAL DATA).
4. Examine the charge status regularly while you charge.
5. When the battery
(B)
is completely charged, you can disconnect the
battery
(B)
from the charger
(C)
.
Meaning of the indication elements:
Indication on the charger [ Fig. O3 ]:
Flashing of the Battery
Charge Indicator
(Lc)
The charging procedure is indicated by
flashing
of the battery charge
indicator
(Lc)
.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range,
see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Continuous Lighting
of the Battery
Charge Indicator
(Lc)
Continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that
the battery is fully charged
or
that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range and can therefore
not be charged.
When the battery is not inserted,
continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the
socket outlet and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery charge status indication
(P)
on the product
[ Fig. O4 / O6 ]:
After starting the product, the battery charge status indication
(P)
is displayed for 5 seconds.
