Note:
• The lithium-ion battery has a built-in electronic deep discharge protection which
prevents partial power from being delivered. Full power is provided at all times
until the electronic protection engages, turning off the trimmer and signifying that
the battery needs to be recharged. The tool will then switch off automatically.
Do not attempt to continue work after this point as doing so may damage
the battery. A battery recharge is now required before any work is resumed.
• The battery also has a built-in electronic overload protection. If the tool is put under
too much pressure, the electronics automatically cut the power and the tool stops.
Release the trigger and wait a few seconds before switching the trimmer on again.
• The lithium-ion battery has no memory which means that it can be charged at any
time regardless of battery level.
• Charge the battery for at least 6 hours the first and second time it is charged.
• For long-term storage the battery should be fully charged at least every 6 months.
