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.
