- Use the included charging unit for charging the battery only. It
is specially designed to match the tool's battery.
- Never use any other charging unit. This will result in fire and/
or explosion hazard!
- Always keep the charging unit clear of rain or moisture.
Hazard of electric shock! - Never charge the battery outside
without protection, always choose a dry, protected place.
- Never try to charge third-party batteries with this charging
unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion hazard!
- Check the housing, plug and cable for damage before each
use of the charging unit. Do not use the unit if you detect
damage.
- Do not open the charging unit by force. In case of a defect, the
charging unit must be replaced.
- The charging unit heats up during the charging process. Do
not place the unit on a flammable surface or operate it in a
flammable environment. Fire hazard!
- Never open the battery cells. Hazard of short circuits!
- In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours or fluids
may escape. In case of incidental contact flush with water and
seek medical advice immediately. The fluid may have irritating

Explosion hazard!
Charging process:
To charge the battery connect the charging unit to an electrical
socket. Then connect the plug of the charging cable to the
charging socket of the grass and shrub shears or trimmer (fig. 2)
The start of the charging process is indicated by the green
control light (X) fig. 2 at the end of the handle. If the battery is
completely empty the charging time is about 4 hours. After the
charging process has been completed, the electronic control
automatically switches off the charging process. The green
control light extinguishes thereby indicating the end of the
charging process. It is not required to monitor the charging time.
The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up during the
charging process. This is nothing unusual.
Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
The tool must never be switched on during the charging
process!
Recharge the battery every time you realize a considerable
decrease of the tool's cutting performance. The battery
additionally features an electronic total discharge protection
that protects the battery from damage. This feature switches
the battery off if the discharging threshold is reached. Do not
switch the tool on afterwards and make sure to recharge the
battery first.

Switching the tool on/off

Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 3) forward and push switch B.
After the tool has been switched on, you do not have to hold the
switch-on lock A any longer.
To switch off just let go of the switch B.
Attention! The blades will continue to move for a
short period of time after switch-off!
