NOTE: Do not discard the shipping carton and packaging
material until you are ready to use the cordless
cultivator. The packaging is made of recyclable materials.
Properly dispose of these materials in accordance with
local regulations or save the packaging for long-term
product storage.
IMPORTANT! The equipment and packaging material are not
toys. Do not let children play with plastic bags, foils, or small
parts. These items can be swallowed and pose a suffocation risk!
Battery Pack Operation
The equipment is powered by a lithium-ion battery.
The battery pack is completely sealed and maintenance free.
Battery Charge Level Indicator
The battery pack is equipped with a push button for checking
the charge level. Simply press the push button to read off the
battery charge level from the LEDs of the battery indicator:
• All 3 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level
is high.
• 2 level monitoring LEDs are lit: Battery charge level is
decreasing. Stop work as soon as possible.
• 1 level monitoring LED is lit: Battery is flat. Stop work
IMMEDIATELY and charge the battery. Otherwise the
battery’s service life will be greatly shortened.
NOTE: If the charge level button does not appear to be
working, insert the charger and charge as needed.
NOTE: Immediately after using the battery pack, the charge
level button may display a lower charge than it will if checked
a few minutes later. The battery cells “recover” some of their
charge after resting.
Charger Operation

WARNING!
Charge only iON+ 24V lithium-ion battery
packs with its compatible iON+ 24V lithium-ion charger.
Other types of batteries may cause personal injury and
damage. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not allow
water to flow into the charger's AC/DC plug.
When to Charge the iON+ 24VBAT-LTE
Lithium-iON Battery
NOTE: The iON+ 24VBAT-LTE lithium-ion battery packs
do not develop a "memory" when charged after only a partial
discharge. Therefore, it is not necessary to run down the
battery pack before inserting the charger plug.
• Use the battery indicator lights to determine when to charge
your iON+ 24VBAT-LTE lithium-ion battery pack.
• You can "top-off" your battery pack's charge before starting
a big job or after a long day of use.
Charging the Battery
1. Push the push lock buttons on the battery to pull the
battery pack out from the battery compartment (Fig. 1).
