work on the appliance (e.g. maintenance, assem-
bly, etc.) and for any transport or storing of the
appliance.

tionally.
Battery charging/charging process
Do not use any other charger. The charger included
has been designed for a Li-ion battery in your
appliance.
Respect the system voltage! The current source
voltage must match the details on the type label of
the charger.
Caution: The battery is supplied partially charged. To
guarantee the full performance of the battery, charge
the battery by a charger to the full extent before
using the appliance for the first time.
The Li-Ion battery may be charged at any time
without the service life being shortened as a result.
Charging interruption does not damage the battery.
Due to the intelligent charging, the battery charging
state is automatically recognised and the battery is
always charged by the optimum charging current, de-
pending on the temperature and voltage. by this, the
battery is treated smoother and stays fully charged
when kept in the charger.
Caution: Charging is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the admissible temperature
range. See the instructions on the battery.

Charging instructions

The charger may get warm in continuous or consecu-
tive charging cycles with no interruption. However,
this is not a defective state and it is no technical
defect of the charger.
A significantly shortened operation time after char-
ging indicates that the battery is worn out and it must
be replaced.
The battery has been fitted with an NTC temperature
sensor, allowing charging within 0°C - 40°C only. Long
service life of the battery is achieved by this.
The Li-ion battery is fitted with „Electronic Cell Pro-
tection (ECP)" against deep discharge. The appliance
switches off by the protection circuit when the batte-
ry is discharged the appliance is no longer working.
Do not press the On/Off button after the
appliance is automatically switched off. The
battery could get damaged.
