5. Before starting the equipment
5.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 1, 5)
•
Connect the charger to the charging station
(Figure 5).
•
Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Plug the battery charger in a socket-
outlet. The red LED (Figure 5 / Item 1) comes
on to indicate that charging voltage is availab-
le.
•
The battery pack is being charged. An empty
battery pack requires a maximum charging
period of 3 to 5 hours. The temperature of the
battery pack may rise slightly during the char-
ging operation. This is normal.
•
As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the
red LED (Fig. 5/Item 1) extinguishes
If the rechargeable battery fails to charge, check
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.
Timely recharging of the battery pack will help
it serve you well for a long time. Recharging is
always necessary when you notice a drop in the
tool’s performance.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
5.2 Fitting the long handle
Using the telescopic long handle (Fig. 1/Item 5)
you can push the cordless shears on wheels over
the lawn.
To fi t the long handle, push the mount (Fig. 3a/
Item 8) onto the long handle until the lock en-
gages in one of the recesses on the mount. The
equipment is provided with one recess at the top
for standard cutting and two recesses on the left
and right for cutting edges. Now pass the wheels
(Fig. 3b/Item 2) through the axle mount and plug
together.
Undo the clamp coupling (Fig. 1/Item 6), adjust
the telescopic handle to the required length and
then re-tighten the clamp coupling again. Now
push the equipment in the direction indicated
by the arrow into the mount (Fig. 4a/Item 8) as
shown in Figure 4a. Ensure that the mount locks
into the recesses correctly. Then connect the
power plug (Fig. 4b/Item 1) to the equipment as
shown in Figure 4b. To disassemble, proceed in
reverse order.
Warning!
It is prohibited to remove or bridge any of the
switching elements installed on the tool by
the manufacturer (e.g. by securing a button
to the handle) as this would prevent the tool
from switching off automatically and result in
high risk of injury. Under no circumstances
are you to use the shrub cutter with the tele-
scopic long handle fi tted.
6. Operation
The area to be cut must fi rst be cleared of stones
and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig. 1/
Item 3) prevents the tool being started unintenti-
onally. Activate the safety lock-off (Figure 1 / Item
3) by pushing it forward and pressing the ON/
OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 4) at the same time. To
switch off the tool, let go of the ON/OFF switch
(Figure 1 / Item 4).
6.1 Cutting grass
Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground.
The best results are achieved when the lawn is
dry.
When you notice a drop in cutting performance,
re-charge the tool immediately so that the battery
does not become fully discharged.
6.2 Trimming hedges
The tool can be used to trim small hedges and
shrubs.
Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge
you want to cut.
First cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut
the top.
Watch out for foreign objects in or on the hedge
which could damage the blades.
When is the best time to trim hedges?
•
As a general rule, hedges which lose their
leaves in the autumn should be trimmed in
June and October.
•
Hedges which do not lose their leaves should
be cut in April and August.
6.3 Changing the blades
Important. Risk of injury!
To remove the blades, raise the lug (Fig. 6/Item 1)
and push off the cover (Fig. 6/Item 2) in direction
of the arrow. Once you have removed the blade
you will be able to see the toothed wheels of the
gear unit (Fig. 7). Make sure that no dirt gets into
