The battery pack can become a little warm during the
charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to
charge, check:
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
the charging unit
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you notice
that the power of the cordless grass trim-mer drops.
Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will
cause it to develop a defect.
Fitting the cuttings collector (Fig. 5a-5d)
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you install
the cuttings collector. This enables you to remove the
cuttings easily. The surface of the hedge thus remains
clear (Fig. 5a/5b). Position the cuttings collector (14)
on the cutter rail (Fig. 5c). Then push the cuttings
collector as far as possible towards the tip of the
cutter rail and secure it with the fastening screws (15)
(Fig. 5d). The cuttings collector can be fitted on either
the right or left side.
6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed
safety switch. The machine works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3) is
pressed with one hand and the switch on the handle
(Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with the other hand. If
either switch is released, the cutters will stop moving.
Please watch out for the cutters as they slow down to
a standstill.
Notes on working practice
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and
bushes as well as hedges.
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the hedge
trimmer so that the cutter teeth are at an angle of
approx. 15° in relation to the hedge (see Figure
7).
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions
(see Figure 8).
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or
the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge
14
to a level height. Cut off all branches which
protrude beyond the guide line (see Figure 9).
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure 10).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Turn off and remove the rechargeable battery from
the hedge trimmer, before putting down or cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
Remove deposits from the guard hood with a
n
brush.

7.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
7.3 Maintenance
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at
regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits with a
brush and apply a thin film of oil (Figure 11).
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
For storage, the hedge trimmer can be hung up
on a nail, screw or similar in a borehole on the
impact guard, with blade guard mounted (Fig.
12)
