5 hours. During the process of charging, the battery
heats up. This is normal and it indicates no defect.
• Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
• If the battery is not lit up, check if there is electric cur-
rent in the socket. If the charging of the batteries is not
possible, give the battery charger and the batteries to
a service shop.
The batteries will self-discharge! Remove the
battery from the charge as soon as it is fully
charged.
General information on the battery: In the inte-
rests of ensuring that the battery has a long ser-
vice life, pay attention to the following points:
• When the battery is at low voltage, the gardening tool
switches off automatically. In this case, the battery
must be charged.
• The lithium ion battery must be charged before long
breaks in use, e.g. before winter storage.
• When the battery is fully discharged, charging time
is 5 hours.
• The lithium ion battery can be charged whatever its
current state of charge, and charging can be interrup-
ted at any time, without damaging the battery (there is
no memory effect).

battery to the tool, make sure the power head is locked
into position. Do this by trying to rotate the power head
in either direction. The power head should be locked in
position and should not rotate. To pivot the power head,
follow the instructions below.
1. Push the round button located on the side of the pivot
bracket. The button is spring-loaded, so you will feel
