• Store your battery pack and charger in a cool, dry
place –
Do not store the battery pack or charger where
temperatures may exceed 104ºF (40ºC), such as in direct
sunlight or inside a vehicle or metal building during the
summer.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety goggles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery charger
from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause
dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery charger near
vapors and flammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools only in dry
conditions and at an ambient temperature of 50°F – 104°F
(10°C – 40°C).
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places where the
temperature is liable to reach over 104°F (40°C). In
particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is
parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Overloads,
overcharging and exposure to direct sunlight will result
in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work
with batteries that have been overheated – replace them
immediately, if possible.
7. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry
locations with an ambient temperature of 50°F – 104°F
(10°C – 40°C). Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a
cool, dry place at a temperature of 50°F – 68°F
(10° – 20°C). Protect the battery pack, charger and
cordless tool from humidity and direct sunlight. Only
place fully charged batteries in storage (charged to
at least 40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from freezing. Battery
packs that were stored below 32°F (0°C) for more than
60 minutes must be discarded.
9. When handling batteries, be wary of electrostatic
charge. Electrostatic discharges can damage the
electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid
electrostatic charging and never touch the battery poles.
Information about the battery
1. The battery packs (model iON100V-2.5AMP or
iON100V-5AMP) must be purchased separately for
use with this cordless hedge trimmer are only partially
charged. The battery packs have 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 packs frequently.
3. Store the battery packs in a cool place, ideally at 59°F
(15°C) and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging
process. The battery packs must be replaced at the latest
when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when
new. Weakened cells in an aged battery packs are no
longer capable of meeting the high power requirements
needed for the proper operation of your cordless hedge
trimmer, 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 packs or expose them to fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries. Exhaustive
discharge will damage the battery cells. The most
common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy
storage or non-use of partially discharged batteries. Stop
working as soon as the performance of the batteries falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers.
Place the battery packs in long-term storage only after
they have 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 one
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. If this situation happens,
stop the tool and let the battery cool down for a few
minutes before restarting.
11. Use only original battery packs. The use of other batteries
poses a fire risk and may result in injuries or an explosion.
Information about the charger and the
charging process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the
battery charger (sold separately). Be sure to connect the
battery charger to a power supply with the voltage
marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a different
mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cord from damage.
Keep the charger and its cord away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Have damaged cords repaired without delay
