For Your Safety
Warning: Switch off and remove battery
from machine before adjusting or cleaning.
The blades continue to move for a fraction
of a second after the hedgecutter is
switched off.
Do not touch the moving blades.

Battery Charging

Note: The battery is supplied partially charged.
To ensure full capacity of the battery, complete-
ly charge the battery in the battery charger be-
fore using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium ion battery can be charged at any
time without reducing its service life. Interrupt-
ing the charging procedure does not damage the
battery.
Removing the Battery
Press the battery unlocking button and pull out
the battery 6 toward the rear.
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
9.
Firstly, place the battery 6 as shown in the figure
onto the front of the battery charger ( ) and
then press the battery 6 down at the rear ( ).
To remove the battery, proceed in reverse order.

Certification
A
Due to the intelligent charging method, the
charging condition of the battery is automatical-
ly detected and the battery is charged with the
optimum charging current, depending on bat-
tery 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 al-
lowable charging temperature range, see sec-
tion "Technical Data".
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator 10
The charging procedure is sig-
nalled by a flashing battery
charge indicator 10.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge In-
dicator 10
Continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator 10
indicates that the battery is
fully charged or that the tem-
perature 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 10 indi-
cates that the mains plug is inserted in the sock-
et and that the battery charger is ready for oper-
ation.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging
cycles without interruption, the charger can
warm up. This is not meaningful and does not in-
dicate a technical defect of the battery charger.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the battery is used and
must be replaced.
The battery is equipped with a NTC temperature
control which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A
long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
