Work instructions
Accumulators are supplied partially charged and
must therefore be fully charged before being used for
the first time.
• Charge the accumulator when the appliance is
running slowly or stops.
• A li-ion battery may be charged at any time without
any shortening of its life. Charging process interrup-
tion will not damage the accumulator.
• A li-ion battery is protected by the Electronic Cell
Protection against deep discharge.
• A significantly shorter operating time of a charged
battery means the battery life is over and the batte-
ry must be replaced.
Dispose of the batteries in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Li-ion batteries are subject to the special disposal
obligation. Have any defective batteries disposed of
by a specialised shop. The battery must be taken out
before the appliance is scrapped. Damaged batteries
may harm the environment and your health if toxic
vapours or liquids leak out of such batteries.
Therefore, never send a defective battery by post, etc.
Please contact your local recycling centre.
Dispose of the batteries when discharged. We
recommend applying an adhesive tape on the poles
to protect them against short circuit. Never open the
battery.
