CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove
the battery pack before servicing, cleaning,
or removing material from the unit.
• Remove the battery pack.
• Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
• Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged
by certain aromatic oils such as pine and
lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
• Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off
any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
• Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small
vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on
the battery pack housing and motor housing.
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.

STORING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

See Figure 8.
• Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before
storing. Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, well-
ventilated place that is inaccessible to children.
Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and deicing salts.
• Always place blade cover on cutting blades
before storing.
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is
below 27°C, and away from moisture.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Wait for battery pack to cool and fully charge
immediately.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature, the quicker they lose
their charge. If you store your unit for long
periods of time without using it, recharge the
batteries every month or two. This practice will
prolong battery pack life.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

• Environmental protection should be a priority
of considerable importance when using
the machine, for the benefit of both social
coexistence and the environment in which we
live. Try not to cause any disturbance to the
surrounding area.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for
the disposal of packaging, deteriorated parts
or any elements with a strong environmental
impact; this waste must not be disposed of as
normal waste, it must be separated and taken
to specified waste disposal centres where the
material will be recycled.
• Scrupulously comply with local regulations for
the disposal of waste materials after mowing.
• At the time of decommissioning, do not pollute
the environment with the machine, but hand it
over to a disposal centre, in accordance with
the local laws in force.
DISPOSAL
Do not dispose of electrical equipment with
household waste material. In observance of
European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste
electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation in accordance with national
regulations, electric equipment that has reached
the end of its life must be collected separately
and recycled in an ecologically compatible way. If
electrical equipment is disposed of in dumps or in
landfills, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being. For further
information on the disposal of this product,
contact a domestic waste collection authority or
your dealer.
Separate collection of used products
and packaging allows materials to be
recycled and used again. Reuse of
recycled
environmental pollution and reduces the demand
for raw materials.
At the end of their useful life, discard
batteries with due care for our
environment.
