For Your Safety
Switch off and remove battery from machine before adjusting or cleaning.
The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the cordless trimmer is switched off.
Caution - do not touch the rotating blade.
Assembly
Battery Charging
Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the unit. Equipment marked with 230V can also be connected to 220V or 240V.
Use only the charging unit supplied. Only this charging unit is matched to the lithium-ion battery used in the product.
The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that allows 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 is supplied 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 reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery.
Removing the Battery A
Press the battery unlocking button and pull out the battery 15 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 14.
Firstly, place the battery 15 as shown in the figure onto the front of the battery charger (0) and then press the battery 15 down at the rear (2). To remove the battery, proceed in reverse order.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery 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 allowable charging temperature range, see section "Technical Data".
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator 13
The charging procedure is signalled by a flashing battery charge indicator 13.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge Indicator 13
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 13 indicates that the battery is fully charged or that the tempera
The battery is not within the allowable charging temperature range, and therefore cannot be charged. The battery will begin charging as soon as the allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, the continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 13 indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is normal and does not indicate 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 Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) protects the lithium ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is run down or discharged, the machine is shut off by means of a protective circuit: The blade no longer rotates.
Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after an automatic shut-off of the machine.
The battery can become damaged.
