This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage. Meaning of the Indication Elements Control of the charging procedure is indicated via the charge control LEDs 18 and 19: Rapid-charging Procedure The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by flashing of the green charge control LED 19. During the charging procedure, the 3 green battery LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the 3 green LEDs light up continuously. Approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged, the 3 green LEDs go out again.

For Your Safety

Warning! Switch off, remove the isolator key and the battery before adjusting, cleaning or if cable is cut, damaged or entangled. The blades continue to rotate for a few seconds after the machine is switched off. Caution do not touch rotating blades. Charging the Battery Observe correct mains voltage: The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the unit. Equipment marked with 230 V can also be connected to 220 V or 240 V. Use only the charging unit supplied. Only this charging unit is matched to the lithium-ion battery used in the product. The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that allows charging only in the temperature range between 0 C and 45 C. In this manner, a high battery service life is achieved. The battery is delivered with a partial charge. Before using the product for the first time, fully charge the battery. Independent of the charged state, the lithium ion battery can be charged at anytime without shortening its service life (no memory effect). Interrupting the charging procedure will not cause damage to the battery. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging when used in the power tool. When the battery is discharged the power tool is switched off by a protective circuit and the tool no longer operates. Do not continue to press the on/off switch after an automatic switch off of the power tool. The battery can be damaged.

The rapid-charging procedure is possible only when the temperature of the battery is between 0 C and 45 C.
Battery Charged Continuous lighting of the green charge control LED 19 signals that the battery is fully charged. Additionally, a signal tone sounds for approx. 2 seconds, which acoustically indicates that the battery is fully charged. Afterwards the battery can be removed for immediate use. With no battery inserted, continuous lighting of the green charge control LED 19 indicates that the mains plug is plugged into the socket and that the battery charger is ready for operation. Battery Temperature below 0 C and above 45 C Continuous lighting of the red LED 18 indicates that the battery temperature is not within the rapidcharging temperature range of 0 C 45 C. As soon as the allowable temperature range is reached, the battery charger automatically switches to rapid charging. When the battery is not within the allowable temperature range, the red battery LED lights up when inserting the battery into the battery charger. No Charging Procedure Possible due to Defective Battery If a different malfunction of the charging procedure is present, this will be indicated through flashing of the red charge control LED 18. The charging procedure can not be started and the battery cannot be charged. (see for advice Fault Finding)

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug is plugged into the socket and the battery 8 is inserted into the charging compartment 16. Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery temperature and voltage.

Charging Advice
s With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without interruption, the charger can warm up. This is not meaningful and does not indicate a technical defect of the unit. s A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery must be replaced. Battery Cooling (Active Air Cooling) The fan control integrated in the battery charger controls the temperature of the inserted battery. When the battery temperature is above 30 C, a fan cools down the battery to the optimal charging temperature. The switched-on fan produces a fan noise. The battery temperature is within the optimal charging temperature range when the fan is not running, or the fan may possibly be defective. In this case, the charging time of the battery extends.

If the mower is not going to be used immediately fit isolator key 24 as shown in the storage position. The mower is fitted with a blade brake. This safety feature stops the blade from rotating in a few seconds.
When no LED lights up after actuating the button 13, the battery is defective and must be replaced. For safety reasons, the charge condition of the battery can only be checked when the product is at a standstill. During the charging procedure, the 3 green battery LEDs light up one after the other and briefly go out. The battery is fully charged when the 3 green LEDs light up continuously. Approx. 5 minutes after the battery has been fully charged, the 3 green LEDs go out again. Temperature Control Indicator (see main figure) The red LED 15 signals that the battery or the electronics of the product are not within the optimum temperature range. The product will not operate at full capacity. Temperature Control of the Battery The red LED 15 flashes when the battery is not within the optimum temperature range (10 to +60 C) and button 13 or the On/Off switch 1 is pressed. The battery switches off at a temperature above 70 C until the optimum temperature range is reached again. Temperature Control of the product Electronics The red LED 15 lights up continuously when the temperature of the product electronics are above 75 C and the On/Off switch 1 is pressed. At a temperature above 90 C, the electronics switch off the product until the temperature is within the allowable operating temperature range again. Area of Cut (Battery Duration) The area of cut (battery duration) depends on lawn conditions, grass density, mositure content, grass length and height of cut. Switching the product on and off frequently during cutting will also reduce the area of cut (battery duration).

Mowing

When mowing do not allow the motor to labour particularly in heavy conditions. When the motor labours the speed of the motor drops and you will hear a change in the motor sound, when this occurs stop mowing, release the switch lever and raise the height of cut. Failure to do so will reduce area of cut and could damage the product or battery. Protect the battery from heat, for example, also the continuous exposure to sun radiation and fire. Product will not function if temperature is below 0 C or above 45 C!

H The grass combs 11 allow a very close cut to the wall or edge. Beware of running combs into objects while cutting close to walls/edges. Do not leave the battery in the mower in direct sunlight.
Charge-control Indicator (see main figure) The battery 8 is equipped with a charge-control indicator 14 which indicates its charge condition. The charge-control indicator consists of 3 green LEDs.
