Page: 12 / 112

If the battery pack fails to charge, please check
앬 whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet
앬 whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
앬 the battery charger with charging adapter
앬 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
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed
safety switch. The machine works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3) is
pressed with one hand and the switch on the handle
(Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with the other hand. If
either switch is released, the cutters will stop moving.
Please watch out for the cutters as they slow down to
a standstill.
Notes on working practice
앬 A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and
bushes as well as hedges.
앬
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the hedge
trimmer so that the cutter teeth are at an angle of
approx. 15° in relation to the hedge (see Figure
7).
앬 The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions
(see Figure 8).
앬 It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or
the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge
to a level height. Cut off all branches which
protrude beyond the guide line (see Figure 9).
앬 Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure 10).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Turn off and remove the rechargeable battery from
the hedge trimmer, before putting down or cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning
n
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
n
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
n
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
n
Remove deposits from the guard hood with a
brush.
7.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
7.3 Maintenance
앬 The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at
regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits with a
brush and apply a thin film of oil (Figure 11).
앬 There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
앬 For storage, the hedge trimmer can be hung up
on a nail, screw or similar in a borehole on the
impact guard, with blade guard mounted (Fig.
12)
