Storage
•
Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time (e.g.
hibernation).
•
Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer
storage period (two LED lights on the
charge status display (3) illuminate).

During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
•
In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appli-
ance to extreme heat or cold in stor-
age.
•
Store the equipment between 0 °C and
45 °C. During storage, avoid extreme
cold or heat so the battery does not
lose power.

charger (5) with a dry brush or dry cloth.
Keep the rechargeable battery (4) and

Waste Disposal/Envi-
ronmental Protection
Remove the battery from the device and
take the device, battery, accessories and
packaging for environmentally friendly
recycling.
Electric units do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in house-
hold waste, fire (risk of explosion)
or water. Damaged batteries may
damage the environment and your
health if toxic fumes or liquids leak
out.
•
Return the unit and the recharger to a
recycling centre. The plastic and metal
parts employed can be separated out
and thus recycled use can be imple-
mented. Ask our Service-Center for
details.
•
Dispose of batteries in discharged condi-
tion. We recommend covering the pole
with adhesive tape to prevent a short
circuit. Do not open up the battery.
•
Dispose of batteries in accordance with
the local regulations. Take batteries to an
old battery collection point where they
will be recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner. For information about
this, ask your local waste management
company or our service centre.
•
Defective units returned to us will be
disposed of for free.
•
Throw the cut grass on the compost.
Do not throw it in the normal house-
hold waste.
