Storage
•
Keep the equipment in the blade guard
supplied, dry and out of reach of chil-
dren.
•
Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer
storage period.
•
Store the equipment between 10° C
and 25° C. During storage, avoid ex-
treme cold or heat so the battery does
not lose power.
•
During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
Disposal and the
environment
Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool,
accessories and packaging to a recycling
centre when you have finished with them.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of the device
with the battery installed in
household waste, fire (risk of
explosion) or water. Damaged
batteries may damage the envi-
ronment and your health if toxic
fumes or liquids leak out.
