Work instructions
Accumulators are supplied partially charged and
must therefore be fully charged before being used for
the first time.
• Charge the accumulator when the appliance is
running slowly or stops.
• A li-ion battery may be charged at any time without
any shortening of its life. Charging process interrup-
tion will not damage the accumulator.
• A li-ion battery is protected by the Electronic Cell
Protection against deep discharge.
• A significantly shorter operating time of a charged
battery means the battery life is over and the batte-
ry must be replaced.
Dispose of the batteries in an environmentally
friendly manner.
Li-ion batteries are subject to the special disposal
obligation. Have any defective batteries disposed of
by a specialised shop. The battery must be taken out
