For Your Safety
 Before any work on the garden product itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during trans-
port and storage, remove the battery from the garden
product. There is danger of injury when unintentionally ac-
tuating the On/Off switch.
 The machine continues to blow for a few seconds after
being switched off. Allow the motor to stop rotating be-
fore 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 battery in your gar-
den product.
 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power
supply must correspond with the data given on the name-
plate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that al-
lows charging only in the temperature range between 0 °C
and 45 °C. In this manner, a high battery service life is
achieved.
Note: The battery supplied is partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
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 On/Off
switch after the garden product has
been automatically switched off. The battery can be dam-
aged.
