For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove battery from ma-
chine before adjusting or cleaning.
The blade continues to rotate for a few sec-
onds after the trimmer is switched off.
Caution – do not touch rotating blade.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains
plug is plugged into the socket and the battery 9 is
inserted into the charging compartment 11.
The green LED 12 is not a charge control indica-
tor! When the green LED is lit, it indicates that a
charging current flows.
After the end of the charging process (approx. 3 h–
5 h), pull the mains plug of the battery charger from
the socket and remove the battery.
The battery should not be charged for longer
than 5.5 hours.
A temperature increase of the battery indicates that
it is fully charged.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cy-
cles without interruption, the charger can warm up.
This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical
defect of the unit.
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity until
after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles.
Leave such batteries in the charging compartment
until they have clearly warmed up.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the batteries are used and must be re-
placed.

is completely assembled.
