Before first use or when you have not used the garden blower for a long time, it is necessary to fully charge the battery, otherwise its lifespan will be reduced. The battery heats up slightly when charging, this is a normal event and does not indicate a problem.

Note: DO NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY IF AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 4°C OR ABOVE 40°C. RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURE FOR CHARGING: APPROXIMATELY 24°C.

Note: The battery will achieve full capacity after several charge/discharge cycles.

Insert the cable into the charger.

Note: Important: Do not use any other chargers, use only the charger that came with the product.

Connect the charger to a power socket. The LED indicator light will be green.

Note: Do not use motor-powered electricity generators or other DC sources for charging.

Place the battery into the charger. The LED indicator light is red, indicating that the battery is charging.

The LED indicator light is green, indicating that the battery is fully charged. The battery is fully charged after approximately 4 hours.
* Disconnect the charger from the power socket. Remove the battery from the charger.

Important instructions for charging

During normal use the battery charges in approximately 4 hours. Allow the battery to cool down before charging it.

Note: The battery will not be charged if it is hot.

Do not charge the battery at temperatures under 4°C or above 40°C. Not adhering to this may lead to serious damage of the battery. A long lifespan and better performance will be achieved if the battery is charged at a temperature of approximately 24°C.
The charger and the battery heat up slightly during the charging process. This is a normal event, it is not a malfunction.
If the battery is not charging properly:

• check that the plug and connector are plugged in properly.
• check that the power socket is connected to the power grid.
• locate the charger in an area where temperature is in the range from 4 to 40°C
