temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times only apply to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-
pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-
re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suff ered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fi re.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated du-
ring the charging process, as the battery cells
may have suff ered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym-
ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,...)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-
commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental infl uences
1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety gog-
gles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe-
rature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an

ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at
a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully
charged batteries in storage (charged at least
40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free-
zing. Battery packs which were stored below
0°C for more than 60 minutes must be dispo-
sed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electro-
static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause
damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char-
ging and never touch the battery poles.
Li-Ion
Batteries and cordless electric equipment contain
materials that are potentially harmful to the envi-
ronment. Never place any rechargeable batteries
or cordless electric machines or tools in your
household refuse.
The rechargeable battery should be taken to a
suitable collection center for proper disposal. If
you do not know the whereabouts of such a coll-
ection center, you should ask in your local council
offi ces.
To ensure that any defective/damaged lithi-
um-ion batteries are properly packaged and
delivered when you send them to us, please
contact our customer service or the point of
sale at which the equipment was purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
Safety information for hedge trimmers
(battery-powered)
a) Keep all parts of your body away from the
blade. When blades are running, never
attempt to remove cuttings or to hold the
material you want to cut. The blades will
continue to move after the switch is set to
OFF. A single moment of carelessness when
using the hedge trimmer can result in serious
injuries.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by its handle
when the blade is stationary and be sure
