5. BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT
5.1 Installing the battery (Fig. 3a/3b)
Press the both side of the battery pack as shown in Fig. 3a and push the battery pack into the mount provided. When
the battery pack is positioned as in Fig. 3b, make sure that the battery pack latch is in place! To remove the battery
pack, proceed in reverse order.
5.2 Charging the battery (Fig. 4)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. Do this by pressing both sides of the battery pack.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the charger rating plate. Connect the power plug of
the charging unit to a socket outlet, and then insert the charging unit to the battery pack. The red LED will light.
3. The charging unit will end the charging automatically when the battery is fully charged (after approx. 3~5 hours).
The green LED then lights up. The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the
battery pack fails to charge, the green and red LED in the battery light up. If this happens check the wall socket and
charging contacts. If the battery pack still fails to charge, please contact our customer services team.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must
recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless pruner drops. Never fully discharge the
battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.
6. OPERATION
WARNING:
Before any work on the machine (e. g. maintenance, changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport
and storage, ensure the Safety lock is kept in the off position. There is danger of injury when the On/Off switch is
unintentionally actuated. To close the blade 1(Fig. 1) activate the safety lock-off (Fig. 1 / Item 4) by pushing it forward
and pressing the ON/ OFF switch (Fig. 1 /Item 3) at the same time. To open the blade 1, let go of the ON/OFF switch
(Fig. 1 / Item 3). Never operate the machine in an awkward posture. This may cause serious injury. Keep your free
hand away from the cutting area. Never touch the blades. They are very sharp and you may cut yourself. Always wear
protective gloves while pruning.
6.1 Changing the blade (Fig. 5a-5c)
Warning!
Remove battery from pruner before changing the blade. Always wear protective gloves when changing the
blade. Never attempt to operate the machine without the blade, spacer or screw correctly secured to prevent damage
to the machine.
To remove the blade 1, Use a Hexagon wrench socket key (not provided) to remove the blade nut 18 which secures
the blade. Remove the blade wave washer 17 and the washer 16 then remove the blade screw 19(Fig.5a). Remove
the blade 1 along 45 ° direction (Fig. 5b).
To insert the blade 1, be careful not to allow any foreign matter to become attached to the blade gear and do not
damage it. First Insert part of the tooth of the blade 1 into the case as shown (Fig.5c), then rotate the blade 1 until the
hole of the blade 1 is aligned to the hole of the aluminium gearbox. Incorrect location of the blade will damage the
machine. Refit the blade screw (19) then refit the washer (16) and the wave washer (17) at last tighten the blade nut
(18). Do not over tighten.
