NOTICE:
do not store the machine with fuel in a non-ventilated area. Fuel fumes can be ignited
by flying sparks.
Important information on storing the battery to avoid possible damage:
If the machine will not be used for a longer period of time, the battery should be disconnected and
disassembled from the machine. Before storage, the battery should be charged again. An exception to
this rule are batteries permanently installed in the machine, which should not be disassembled and
simply charged with the charger supplied.
Batteries should be stored at room temperature (approx. 20° C) in a dry and frost-proof place. Avoid
large temperature fluctuations (e.g. do not expose battery to direct sunlight or store near heating sys-
tems). Higher temperatures can lead to accelerated ageing and premature loss of function of the bat-
tery.
If the battery is not used for a longer period of time, check the charge level regularly (monthly, max.
every 3 months). If necessary, recharge the battery.
