5. Before starting
5.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 1/3)
앬 Connect the charger to the charging station
(Figure 3).
앬 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 green LED (Figure 3 / Item 1) comes
on to indicate that charging voltage is available.
앬
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.
앬 As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the red
LED (Fig. 3/Item 1) 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 toolʼs
performance.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
6. 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).
6.1 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.
6.2 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
which could damage the blades.
When is the best time to trim hedges?
앬 As a general rule, hedges which lose their leaves
in the autumn should be trimmed in June and
October.
앬 Hedges which do not lose their leaves should be
cut in April and August.
6.3. Changing the blades
Important! Risk of injury!
To remove the blades, raise the lug (Fig. 4/Item 1)
and push off the cover (Fig. 4/Item 2) in direction of
the arrow.
Once you have removed the blade you will be able to
