Cutting grass:
Simply push the cutter on its wheels over the ground.
This ensures a constant even cutting height. The
large contact surface makes the shears easy to
handle. The best cutting results are obtained with dry
grass. However, there is no electrical danger when
the grass is for instance damp.
When cutting power drops considerably, re-charge
shears immediately to prevent cells from becomming
completely empty.
This switching device that have been installed on
the unit by the manufacturer may not be removed
or by-passed, e.g. by binding a switch to the
handle. This may cause fatal injury and the unit
does not switch off automatically.
6. Fitting the stem and handle
6.
(applies only to GAS 4.8 FG and GAS 7.2 FG)
Cut lawn edges without bending or kneeling. With the
interlocking stem and handle you can push the bat-
tery-powered grass cutter on its wheels over the
lawn.
Plug the tubes together and fasten with two knurled
screws. Remove the stem contact caps.
Finally, use 2 knurled screws to join the fitted stem to
the handle of the battery-powered grass cutter.
7. Fitting the knife set
Important!
Always take the battery out of the grass cutter before
you fit or remove the knife set. Otherwise there is a
risk of injury!
Undo the 4 screws and remove the complete knife
set. When you insert the new knife, make sure that it
latches into position. Finally, refasten the 4 screws.
8. Maintenance
To achieve good cutting results, always use sharp
knives. They can be sharpened by using a
sharpening stone. We especially recommend always
immediate removal of notches and burrs which could
be caused by stones. The possibility of separating
the upper and lower blades makes sharpening
especially easy. The shears should be cleaned
throroughly before and after use. A few drops of oil
(e.g. sewing machine oil) applied to the blades
improve the cutting performance. However never
grease the blades.
For a constant clean cut it is necessary to remove
grass residues and dirt even between upper and
lower blade. Therefore, disassemble and clean the
blades also at this place from time to time.
Due to risk of personal injury and material
damage, never clean the unit with running water,
especially not under high pressure. Store the
grass shears in a dry and frostfree place. Kepp
out of the reach of children. Cover the blade with
sheath for storage.
