WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
1.
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.
2.
Use appliances only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
3. When the battery packs are not in use, keep them away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
batteries; 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.
5. 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.
6.
Do not expose battery packs to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F
(130°C) may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery packs 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.
8. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery packs except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.
Service
1.
Have servicing performed by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the product is maintained.
2. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the
battery packs except as indicated in the instructions for
use and care.

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 packs 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.

WARNING!
Use only approved replacement batteries;
other batteries may damage the mulcher and cause
it to malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
m
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of injury, charge the
iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery packs only in the designated
iON+ 24V lithium-ion charger. Other types of chargers present
risk of fire, personal injury and damage. Do not wire the battery
packs to a power supply plug or car cigarette lighter. Such
misuse will permanently disable or damage the battery packs.
•
Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery packs in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery packs or charger in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing the battery packs, which could lead to a fire.
•
Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery packs. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the batteries are
41°F (5°C) to 104°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the batteries
outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
•
Maintain charger cord – When unplugging the charger,
pull the plug, not the cord, from the receptacle to reduce
the risk of damage to the electrical plug and cord.
Never carry the charger by its cord or yank it by the cord
to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil and sharp edges. Make sure the cord will not
be stepped on, tripped over or subjected to damage or
stress when the charger is in use. Do not use the charger
with a damaged cord or plug. Replace a damaged charger
immediately.
