1. For optimum battery performance, avoid low discharge

cycles by charging the battery pack frequently.

2. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally at 77°F

(25°C) and charged to at least 40%.

3. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural aging

process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when their capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power requirements needed for the proper operation of your patio cleaner, and therefore pose a safety risk.

4. Do not throw the battery pack into an open re as this

poses a risk of explosion.

5. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to re.

6. Do not exhaustively discharge the battery. Exhaustive

discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partially discharged battery. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery fall noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

7. Protect the battery and the tool from overloads. Overloads

will quickly result in overheating and cell damage inside the battery housing even if this overheating is not apparent externally.

8. Avoid damage and shocks. Immediately replace the

battery that has been dropped from a height of more than one meter or has been exposed to violent shocks, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suered serious damage. In such instances, please read the waste disposal information for proper battery disposal.

9. If the battery pack suers overloading and overheating,

the integrated protective cuto will switch o the equipment for safety reasons. IMPORTANT! Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-o has been activated. This may damage the battery pack.

10. Use only original battery pack. The use of other batteries

poses a re risk and may result in injuries or an explosion. Information about the charger and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the

battery charger. Be sure to connect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a dierent mains voltage.

4. Keep the battery charger, battery pack and the cordless

tool out of the reach of children.

5. During periods of heavy use, the battery pack will become

warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before recharging.

6. Do not overcharge the battery. Do not exceed the

maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent connection of a charged or partially charged battery pack will result in overcharging and cell damage. Do not leave the battery connected with the charger for days on end.

7. Never use or charge battery if you suspect that it has

been more than 12 months since the last time they were charged. There is a high probability that the battery pack has already suered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

8. Charging the battery at a temperature below 41°F (5°C)

will cause chemical damage to the cells and may cause a re.

9. Do not use batteries that have been exposed to heat

during the charging process, as the battery cells may have suered dangerous damage.

10. Do not use the battery if it suered curvature or

deformation during the charging process or exhibit other atypical symptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking, etc.).

11. Never fully discharge the battery pack (maximum

recommended depth of discharge is 80%). A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature aging of the battery cells.5 Protectionfromenvironmentalinuences
