Maintenance and Service

Before any work on the garden product itself
(e. g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as
during transport and storage, remove the battery
from the garden product. There is danger of injury
when unintentionally actuating the On/Off switch.

Maintenance, Cleaning and Storage

For safe and proper working, always keep the
garden product clean.
For safe and proper working, always keep the garden
product and the ventilation slots clean.
Never spray with or immerse the garden product in wa-
ter.
Store the garden product in a secure, dry place, out of
the reach of children.
Do not place other objects on the garden product.

Battery Maintenance

Use the following procedures to enable optimum us-
age of the battery:
– Protect the battery against moisture and water.
– Store the battery only within a temperature range
between 0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not
leave the battery in the car in summer.
– Do not leave the battery in the product in direct
sunlight.
– The ideal storage condition for the battery is 5 °C.
– Occasionally clean the venting slots of the battery
using a soft, clean and dry brush.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be re-
placed.
