Overload protection and other safety features
The battery has a number of safety features that prevent damage to the shrub/grass
shears and battery during use.
•
During brief moments of high loads, the overload protection may switch the shrub/
grass shears off. This protection resets automatically. Release the power switch,
wait a few seconds, ensure that there is no load and restart the shrub/grass shears.
The shrub/grass shears should now function normally again.
•
Under high loads for extended periods, the overheating protection may switch the shrub/
grass shears off. This feature is self-resetting but the shrub/grass shears cannot be
restarted until it has returned to a safe operating temperature. Let the shrub/grass
shears battery cool before trying to restart it. Adverse temperatures can occur in
direct sunlight and should therefore be avoided.
•
The battery has a low-voltage protection device, which operates when the battery
becomes discharged. The low-voltage protection device turns off the shrub/grass
shears automatically and the battery then needs to be recharged.
