5. Instructions for Using the Battery

1. The hedge trimmer is delivered with the replaceable
(rechargeable) battery fully charged. The tool may be
operated immediately.
2. You must never open the battery.
3. Never throw the used batteries in fire - RISK OF
EXPLOSION!
4. Connect the battery charger only to mains with such
a voltage as stated on the type-bearing plate.
5. Use only the original battery.
6. Never charge the battery with a battery charger
from other producer. This can result in the battery
being damaged or it can result in an injury due to
overheating.
7. During a long-term operation, the battery may heat
up. Let it cool down before charging it.
8. Do not store the battery charger and the batteries
within children's reach.
9. Do not use the battery charger in an environment
with vapors or inflammable fluids.
10. Charge the batteries only at a temperature within the
range of 10°C to 40°C.
11. Never store the batteries at a temperature over 40°C.
12. Never short-circuit the contacts of the batteries and
never interconnect them with metal objects.
13. When transporting the battery, take care that the
contacts are not interconnected, do not use metal
transportation containers.
14. Short-circuit of the battery can lead to explosion. In
any case, the short-circuit connection will damage
the battery.
15. Check the cable regularly on whether it is damaged.
If the cable is damaged, have it replaced.
16. 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.
17. Before storing the batteries for the wintertime, charge
them fully once more.

6. Environmental Instructions

Please observe the following directions for the disposal
of your accumulator/battery.
Batteries are not to be put into the rubbish. As a con-
sumer you are legally obliged to return used batteries
and accumulators. At the end of the duration of your ap-
paratus, the batteries or accumulators have to be taken
from the apparatus, disposing of them separately.
You have the possibility of delivering your old batter-
ies and accumulators to the local collecting points of
your municipality or to your dealer or to the distribution
centers.
7. Charging the Batteries
• To remove the battery from the hedge trimmer push
the red button on the battery housing and pull out the
battery (Fig. 4).
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
(fig. 4 - 7)
• Connect the battery charger to the socket. Make
sure that the voltage stated on the battery charger
corresponds with the mains voltage in your socket.
• Slide the battery onto the charging station as far as
it will go (Fig. 5).
• The flashing green control light indicates the start of
the battery charging cycle. Once the charging cycling
has been completed the green control light glows
continuously. The battery is now fully charged and
can be removed from the charging station.
• The second control light (Fig. 7) has the following
function: if the electronic charging control identifies a
battery damage this light starts to flash red.
• 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.
• Depending on the battery's level of discharge the
charging cycle takes up to 3-5 hours. The charging
is electronically controlled and stops automatically.
Heating of the battery during charging is normal and
shall not be regarded as a fault.
• If the charging light indicator is not lit up, check if
there is electric current in the socket. If the charg-
ing of the batteries is not possible, give the battery
charger and the batteries to a service shop.
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.
The battery also features a diagnosis indicator that
shows the current charging level and indicates malfunc-
tions.
Push the button A to check the charging level (fig. 6).
The following indications may occur:
• All 4 control lights are glowing: the battery is fully
charged.
• 2 or 3 control lights are glowing: the charging level
is still acceptable.
• 1 control light is glowing: the battery is discharged.
Recharge the battery immediately!
The following diagnosis indications occur automatically
without pushing the button A.
• All 4 control lights are flashing during trimming. The
tool has been shortly overtaxed. Switch the hedge
trimmer off and then on again.
• 2 control lights are flashing alternately: the battery
temperature is too high. Switch the hedge trimmer
off and let it cool down for some time. Then, you may
operate the tool again.
• 1 control light is flashing: the battery capacity is at
only 10%. The battery should be recharged soon!
• During the charging cycle, all 4 control lights are
flashing alternately.
