For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove battery from machine before adjusting or cleaning. The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds 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 13 is inserted into the charging compartment 16.

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged 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.

Control of the charging procedure is indicated via the charge control LED 14:

Rapid-charging Procedure

The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the charge control LED 14.

The battery is fully charged as soon as the LED 14 switches from flashing to being lit continuously. Afterwards the battery can be removed for immediate use.

It is recommended not to remove the battery until the battery is fully charged.

The rapid-charging procedure is possible only when the temperature of the battery is between 0 °C and 45 °C.

Trickle-charging Procedure

The trickle-charging procedure is indicated by continuous lighting of the LED 14.

With the battery fully charged, the charger immediately switches to trickle- charge mode. This equalizes the natural running-down of the battery again.

Charging Advice

With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit.

A battery 13 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 13 in the charging compartment 16 until they have clearly warmed up.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are worn out and must be replaced.
