material until you are ready to use the cordless hedge
trimmer. 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 two lithium-ion batteries. The
battery pack is completely sealed and maintenance free. This
unit cannot operate with just one battery.
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, place the battery packs on the charger and charge as
needed.
Immediately after using the battery packs, 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.

Lithium-iON Batteries

before inserting the charger plug.

charge your 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery packs.

a big job or after a long day of use.
