Switch off the device and remove
the battery from the device before
working with or transporting it.
The following cleaning and servicing
should be done regularly. This will ensure a
long and reliable service life.
Cleaning
Do not spray the appliance
with water and do not im-
merse it in water. Electric
shock hazard!
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush.
Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
You may otherwise irreparably damage
the appliance.
Maintenance
• The equipment is maintenance free.
Storage
• Store the device in a dry place well out
of reach of children.
• Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time (e.g. hi-
bernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer stor-
age period (two LED lights of the char-
ge status indicator ( 9a) light up).
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
• In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appliance
to extreme heat or cold in storage.
• Store the equipment between 10° C
and 25° C. During storage, avoid ex-
treme cold or heat so the battery does
not lose power.
Waste Disposal/
Environmental Protection
Remove the battery from the device and
take the device, battery, accessories and
packaging for environmentally friendly re-
cycling.
Electric units do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in house-
hold waste, fire (risk of explosion) or
water. Damaged batteries may dam-
age the environment and your health
if toxic fumes or liquids leak out.
• Return the unit and the recharger to a
recycling centre. The plastic and metal
parts employed can be separated out
and thus recycled use can be imple-
mented. Ask our Service-Center for
details.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged
condition. We recommend covering
the pole with adhesive tape to prevent
a short circuit. Do not open up the bat-
tery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with
the local regulations. Take batteries to
an old battery collection point where
they will be recycled in an environmen-
tally friendly manner. For information
about this, ask your local waste man-
agement company or our service centre.
• Defective units returned to us will be dis-
posed of for free.
