Disposal Of Accumulators - IKRA IART 2520 LI Manuel D'utilisation

11. Store the battery at temperatures up to 30°C only.
Higher storage temperatures may result in damage
to the battery. The ideal storage temperature range
is 10-15°C.
12. Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and
fire. Explosion hazard!
13. In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours
or fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact
flush with water and seek medical advice immedi-
ately. The fluid may have irritating or caustic effects
on the skin.
14. Never short-circuit the contacts of the batteries and
never interconnect them with metal objects.
15. When transporting the battery, take care that the
contacts are not interconnected, do not use metal
transportation containers.
16. Short-circuit of the battery can lead to explosion. In
any case, the short-circuit connection will damage
the battery.
17. Check the cable regularly on whether it is damaged.
If the cable is damaged, have it replaced.
18. The battery is equipped with a deep-discharge pro-
tection feature: the tool is automatically switched off
if the battery is discharged. Recharge the battery
immediately if this should be the case.
19. Before storing the batteries for the wintertime, charge
them fully once more.

Disposal of accumulators

Please observe the following directions for
the disposal of your accumulator/battery. Bat-
teries are not to be put into the rubbish. As
a consumer you are legally obliged to return
used batteries and accumulators. At the end of
the duration of your apparatus, the batteries or
accumulators have to be taken from the appa-
ratus, disposing of them separately. You have
the possibility of delivering your old batteries
and accumulators to the local collecting points
of your municipality or to your dealer or to the
distribution centers.
Charging the batteries
• In order to remove the rechargeable battery from the
device, press the interlock button (15) and slide the
battery out (Fig. 1).
• Plug the charging device (16) into the mains socket.
Make sure that the mains voltage cited on the charg-
ing station complies with the voltage supplied by your
socket. The green light on the plug-in charging device
illuminates.
• Slide the rechargeable battery (14) into the charging
station. It can only be inserted in one position (Fig. 2).
• The battery charging process now begins and is sig-
nalled by the red indicator light on the charging device
(16). The 3 green LEDs on battery (14) light up in turn.
• Once the rechargeable battery has been fully charged,
the indicator light on charging device (16) changes
from red to green. The charging process ends auto-
matically. The 3 green LEDs on battery (14) light up.
• Charging takes approx. 3-5 hours. The battery heats

up during the charging process. This is normal and
does not signal a fault. Remove the rechargeable bat-
tery after no more than 5 hours.
Note: Occasionally, the permissible temperature range
may be exceeded during the charging cycle. In this case,
the electronic charging control interrupts the charging
cycle to avoid any damage to the battery. The read
control light will then glow continuously. If you should
witness this, pull the battery from the charging station
and let it cool down for about 30 minutes. Then, restart
the charging cycle by sliding the battery back onto the
charging station.
• It is not required to monitor the charging time.
• Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
• If the battery is not lit up, check if there is electric cur-
rent in the socket. If the charging of the batteries is not
possible, give the battery charger and the batteries to
a service shop.
Push the button X to check the charging level (fig. 2).
The following indications may occur:
• All 3 control lights are glowing: the battery is fully
charged.
• 2 control lights are glowing: the charging level is still
acceptable.
• 1 control light is glowing: the battery is discharged.
Recharge the battery immediately!
Note! The battery (14) will not reach its full capacity
when charged for the first time. The red light illuminates
until the charging device (16) is disconnected from the
mains. Multiple charging cycles may be required in order
to reach the maximum charge.
Note: The battery is equipped with a deep-discharge
protection feature: the tool is automatically switched off
if the battery is discharged. Recharge the battery imme-
diately if this should be the case.
Thermal and voltage protection
If the tool is subject to excessively high loads for an ex-
tended period, the rechargeable battery may switch off.
If this occurs leave the battery to cool down for approx.
30 minutes.
Assembly
Attention - risk of injury! Always remove the re-
chargeable battery from the device before all work.
Installing the protective cover (Fig. 3)
If the blade disc is fitted then this must be removed. To
do so loosen the screw (A) (left-handed thread).
Place the protective cover on the strimmer housing such
that both guide bars on the protective cover lie in the
corresponding recesses in the motor housing. Now turn
the protective cover through approx. 30 degrees until it
reaches the correct position.
Attention: request it heeds you that the protective cov-
ering doesn't turn you on the casing around puts down.
The surviving edge must show to the back, to the grip.
Subsequently secure the protective cover with the 2
screws (B) and fit the blade disc.
