Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain residual
risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is
used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if
the equipment is used over a prolonged period or
is not properly guided and maintained.

6. Before starting

6.1 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 A) 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 3 to 5 hours. The temperature of the battery
pack may rise slightly during the charging
operation. This is normal.
As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the red
LED (Fig. 5/Item A) 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
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
6.2 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 fit the long handle, push the mount (Fig.
3a/Item 8) onto the long handle until the lock
(Fig. 3a/Item A) engages 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. The
equipment comes with two axle mounts. Use
the bottom axle mount for cutting edges and the
top axle mount for standard cutting.
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
A) to the equipment as shown in Figure 4b. To
disassemble, proceed in reverse order.
Important!
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 telescopic long handle fitted.

7. Operation

The area to be cut must first be cleared of stones
and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig.
1/Item 3) prevents the tool being started
unintentionally. 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).

7.1 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.
7.2 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
