9. Troubleshooting
No function, the appliance does not switch on:
•
The battery is depleted. Charge the battery using the corresponding charger.
•
The battery is not correctly inserted into the battery slot (6) on the appliance.
Cutting performance is poor:
•
The blade (1) is no longer sharp and should be sharpened by a specialist.
• The battery is flat and should be recharged.
The blade (1) does not move:
•
Switch off the hedge trimmer immediately and remove the battery.
•
Check that there are no foreign bodies jammed in the blade (1).
• If necessary, remove the foreign objects.
The hedge is not cut cleanly or the blade frequently gets stuck or becomes hot:
•
The blade (1) is worn or damaged and should be sharpened by a specialist.
• The blade (1) is not sufficiently lubricated. Lubricate the blade (1) with oil.
10. Maintenance/cleaning/storage
Before cleaning or servicing the device, switch it off and remove the battery.
Under no circumstances should you service any of the components in the interior of the product, therefore
never open/dismantle it. Repair and maintenance work (including opening the product) must be done by a
technician or specialist repair centre.
Do not allow water or moisture to get inside the device.
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemicals.
Improper cleaning agents can cause discolouration on the plastic surface. Never use scouring agents,
alcohol, petrol, spirits or other similar liquids to clean the product.
Wear protective gloves during maintenance and cleaning work to prevent injury from sharp edges or the
blade (1).
