Intended Use Introduction Delivered Items Operating Controls 13 • F016L70 457 • 06.12 English - 3 Charging Procedure The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug is plugged into the socket and the battery 9 is inserted into the charging compartment 11. The green LED 12 is not a charge control indicator! When the green LED is lit, it indicates that a charging current flows. After the end of the charging process (approx. 3 h– 5 h), pull the mains plug of the battery charger from the socket and remove the battery. The battery should not be charged for longer than 5.5 hours. A temperature increase of the battery indicates that it is fully charged. Charging Advice With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not harmful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit. A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles. Leave such batteries in the charging compartment until they have clearly warmed up. A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the batteries are used and must be replaced. Do not connect the battery before product is completely assembled. Ensure product is assemble in the following order: Assemble trimmer shaft Push the upper shaft 4 and lower shaft 5 together until a click can be heard. Note: Once the upper and lower shaft is assembled it can not be disassembled. Ensure internal cable is not trapped or twisted.
