Working 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

etc. Please contact your local recycling centre.
Dispose of the batteries when discharged. We
recommend applying an adhesive tape on the
poles to protect them against short circuit. Never
open the battery.
