3. Important information
The NC replaceable battery supplied with the
tool is not charged. Before the tool can be used
for the first time you must charge the battery.
Charge the battery with the supplied charger. An
empty battery takes approx. 12 hours to be
charged. Do not use the supplied charger to
charge other batteries.
The battery does not reach its maximum
capacitance until it has been charged and
discharged approximately five times.
NC batteries lose their charge even when they
are not being used. Regular charging is therefore
recommended. Capacity losses can be
compensated by using a timer to top-up the
charge for 30 minutes every day.
Please check the data marked on the rating plate
of the battery charger. Connect the battery
charger only to an identical mains supply to that
on the rating plate.
In heavy use the battery will become warm.
Allow it to cool to room temperature before
commencing with the charging.
Never throw old batteries in the fire. Risk of
explosion!
Used and defective batteries do not belong in the
refuse bin. Think of the environment - cadmium
is toxic. For proper disposal of used and
defective batteries, send them postage-paid to
the ISC company or take them to a special
collecting station in your area. Ask at your local
council offices for the nearest used battery
collecting station.
Protect the battery charger and cable from
damage and sharp edges. Damaged cables are
to be replaced without delay by an electrician.
4. Proper use
The tool is designed for cutting lawns, small areas of
grass, bushes and small hedges in private and
hobby gardens.
Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable
for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers,
along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector.
For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to
follow the instructions set out in the manufacturer’s
directions for use.
Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop
material for composting because of the potential
danger to persons and property.

6. Starting up
1. Remove the battery from the handle (Figure 2) by
pressing on the battery’s pushlock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
You can now plug the battery charger in a socket-
outlet.
3. Insert the battery in the charging adapter. The red
LED indicates that the battery is being charged.
There is no automatic switch-off when the battery
is fully charged. An empty battery requires a
maximum charging period of 5-7 hours. A battery
with residual capacitance takes accordingly less
time to charge. The temperature of the battery
may rise slightly during the charging operation.
This is normal.
If the battery fails to charge, please check
- whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
- whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts of the battery charger.
If you still fail to charge the battery, please return
the power supply unit
the charging adapter
and the battery
to our Customer Service Center.
Timely recharging of the NC battery will help it serve
you well for a long time. Recharging is always
necessary when you notice a drop in the tool’s
performance.
Never allow the battery to become fully discharged.
The results will be a defective battery!
