Used batteries
• If a fully recharged battery lasts for
considerably shorter operating times,
the battery is used up and needs to be
replaced. Only use an OEM battery
pack replacement available from our
Customer Service.
• Always take heed of the applicable
safety instructions as well as the envi-
ronmental protection regulations and
information (see "Cleaning and Mainte-
nance").
Storage
• Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time (e.g. hi-
bernation).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer
storage period (two LED lights on the
charge status display (3) illuminate).
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
• In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appliance
to extreme heat or cold in storage.
• The ideal storage temperature for the
battery is between 0 °C and 45 °C.
Avoid extreme cold or heat during stor-
age to ensure the battery output is not
adversely affected.
Cleaning
Clean the rechargeable battery (1) and
charger (3) with a dry brush or dry cloth.
Keep the rechargeable battery (1) and
charger (3) away from moisture and sharp
objects.

Maintenance
• The equipment is maintenance free.
Waste Disposal/Envi-
ronmental Protection
Remove the battery from the device and
take the device, battery, accessories and
packaging for environmentally friendly
recycling.
Electric units do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Do not dispose of batteries in
household waste, fi re (risk of explo-
sion) or water. Damaged batteries
may damage the environment and
your health if toxic fumes or liquids
leak out.
• Return the unit and the recharger to a
recycling centre. The plastic and metal
parts employed can be separated out
and thus recycled use can be imple-
mented. Ask our Service-Center for
details.
• Dispose of batteries in discharged
condition. We recommend covering
the pole with adhesive tape to prevent
a short circuit. Do not open up the bat-
tery.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with
the local regulations. Take batteries to
an old battery collection point where
they will be recycled in an environ-
mentally friendly manner. For informa-
tion about this, ask your local waste
management company or our service
centre.
• Defective units returned to us will be
disposed of for free.
