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.
hibernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer
storage period (two LED lights of the
charge status indicator (
5) 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 appli-
ance to extreme heat or cold in stor-
age.
• 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
recycling.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of the device
with the battery installed in
household waste, fire (risk of
explosion) or water. Damaged
batteries may damage the
environment and your health if
toxic fumes or liquids leak out.
• 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 batter-
ies to an old battery collection point
where they will be recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner. For
information about this, ask your local
waste management company or our
service centre.
• Throw the cut branches on the com-
post. Do not throw it in the normal
household waste.
• Defective units returned to us will be
disposed of for free.
