Starting
For Your Safety
Before any work on the garden product itself
(e. g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the battery
from the garden product. There is danger of injury
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.
The machine continues to blow for few seconds
after being switched off. Allow the motor to stop
rotating before switching "on" again.
Do not rapidly switch off and on.
Battery Charging
Do not use other battery chargers. The supplied
battery charger is designed for the Lithium-Ion bat-
tery in your garden product.
Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the
power supply must correspond with the data given
on the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery
chargers marked with 230 V can also be operated
with 220 V.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To en-
sure full capacity of the battery, completely charge the
battery in the battery charger before using your garden
product for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time
without reducing its service life. Interrupting the
charging procedure does not damage the battery.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains
plug is plugged into the socket and the battery is then
inserted into the battery charger.
Firstly, place the battery as shown in the figure onto
the front of the battery charger ( ) and then press the
battery down at the rear ( ). To remove the battery,
proceed in reverse order.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging
condition of the battery is automatically detected and
the battery is charged with the optimum charging cur-
rent, depending on battery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves
it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage.
Note: The charging procedure is only possible when
the battery temperature is within the allowable charg-
ing temperature range, see section "Technical Data".

Flashing Battery Charge Indicator
The charging procedure is signalled
by a flashing battery charge
indicator.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the bat-
tery charge indicator indicates
that the battery is fully charged
or that the temperature of the
battery is not within the allowa-
ble charging temperature range, and cannot be
charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon
as the allowable charging temperature range is
reached.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator indicates that the
mains plug is inserted in the socket and that the bat-
tery charger is ready for operation.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles
without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is
not meaningful and does not indicate a technical de-
fect of the battery charger.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be re-
placed.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature con-
trol which allows charging only within a temperature
range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A long battery serv-
ice life is achieved in this manner.
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the
lithium ion battery against deep discharging. When the
battery is run down or discharged, the garden product
is shut off by means of a protective circuit: The garden
product no longer operates.
Do not continue to press the
WARNING
On/Off switch after the garden
product has been automatically
switched off. The battery can be damaged.
Working Advice
When operating, always hold the machine approxi-
mately 3 cm above the ground.
Do not blow hot, flammable or explosive material.
