The charging indicator (12) will be lit as long as the battery is
connected to the plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Charging indicators
If the charger detects a problem with the battery, the charging
indicator (12) will flash at a fast rate. Proceed as follows:
Re-insert the battery (10).
If the charging indicators continues flashing at a fast rate,
use a different battery to determine if the charging process
works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
services centre.
Note: It may take as long as 15 minutes to determine that the
battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the
LED will alternately blink fast and slow, one flash at each
speed and repeat.

dirt is packed down. Subsequent cultivating will be
completed more rapidly.
In order to achieve optimum results, only cultivate dry soil.
If the tines become clogged, immediately switch off the
tool. Refer to the maintenance instructions to unclog the
tines. To continue operating the tool in a clogged condition

If possible, keep the battery connected to the charger and
the charger plugged in whenever the tool is not in use.
