5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 3, 4)
•
Connect the charger to the charging station
(Figure 3).
•
Check that your mains voltage is the same
as that marked on the rating plate of the bat-
tery charger. Plug the battery charger in a
socket-outlet. The red LED (Figure 4 / Item 1)
comes on to indicate that charging voltage is
available.
•
The battery pack is being charged. An empty
battery pack requires a maximum charging
period of 2 hours. The temperature of the bat-
tery pack may rise slightly during the charging
operation. This is normal.
•
As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the
red LED (Fig. 4/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.
The long handle is only for use with the grass
cutter blade and must not be used with the hedge
cutter blade!
To attach the long handle, push the fi tting (Fig. 5/
Item 8) onto the tool in the direction of the arrow
until the catch clicks into position.
Now mount the wheels (Fig. 6/Item 2) on the axle
and push inwards.
Unscrew the fi tting (Fig. 1/Item 6), adjust the
telescopic handle to the required length and
then tighten the fi tting again. Press the catch
in and push the tool onto the telescopic handle
as shown by the direction of the arrow in Fig. 7.
After letting go of the catch, make sure that the
fi tting is correctly engaged (Fig. 1/Item 8). Then
connect the power plug (Fig. 9/Item A) to the tool
as shown in Fig. 9. Press the catch (Fig. 10/Item
A) to rotate the tool to the left or right and to use

it as an edge trimmer. Make sure that it clicks into
place!
To take apart, proceed in the reverse order. To
remove the fi tting (Fig. 11/Item 8), release it in the
direction of the arrow (Fig. 11/Item A) and then
push it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 11/Item
B).
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.
