The rechargeable battery can become a little warm
during the charging process. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, please check
whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
the battery charger with charging adapter
and the battery pack
to our customer services department.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service
you should take care to recharge it promptly.
Recharging is always necessary when you notice a
drop in the performance of your cordless grass
trimmer.
Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will
cause it to develop a defect.
6. Operation
Your grass trimmer will work at its best if you
observe the following instructions:
Never use the grass trimmer without its safety
devices.
Do not cut grass when it is wet. The best results
are had on dry grass.
To switch on your grass trimmer, press the
safety
lock-off and the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Pos. 2).
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
ON/OFF switch (Fig. 2/Pos. 2).
Do not move the grass trimmer against the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. wait until the
trimmer is running.
For the correct cutting action, swing the grass
trimmer to the side as you walk forward, holding
it at an angle of approx. 30° as you do so (see
Figure 16+17).
Make several passes to cut long grass shorter
step by step from the top (see Figure 18).
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary
wear.
To avoid unnecessary wear, keep the grass
trimmer away from hard objects.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer.
The grass trimmer can be adjusted as follows to trim
the edges of lawns and flower beds.
Remove the battery (Fig. 12)
Press the setting knob (Fig. 11 / Item L)
Press and hold the setting knob and turn the top
handle through 90° until it locks.
You have now converted the grass trimmer to an
edge trimmer for vertical lawn cutting.
