Wear gloves when handling the
blades (
11/13). There is a risk
of injury from cuts!
Clean and service the unit regularly as fol-
lows. This guarantees a long life for your
unit:
• Check the covers and guards for dam-
age and correct position. If necessary,
replace.
• Never operate the machine with defec-
tive guards or covers or without protec-
tion or with damaged or worn cables.
• Keep the ventilation slits, motor housing
and handles on the equipment clean. To
do this, use a damp cloth or brush.
• Always keep the blade clean.
After using the equipment, it is impera
-
tive to:
- Clean the blade
(with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft
with an oil can or
spray.
• Slight notches on the blades can be
evened out. For this, sand down the
blades with an oil stone. Only sharp
blades can cut properly.
• Blunt, bent or damaged blades must
be changed.
We are not liable for damage caused by
the use of the unit if the original cause was
improper repair or the use of non-original
parts or through use other than that desig-
nated in this manual.
Storage
• Keep the equipment in the blade guard
supplied, dry and out of reach of chil-
dren.
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer stor
-
age period.
• Store the equipment between 10° C and
25° C. During storage, avoid extreme cold
or heat so the battery does not lose power.
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
Disposal and the
environment
Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool,
accessories and packaging to a recycling
centre when you have finished with them.
Machines do not belong with domes-
tic waste.
Do not dispose of the device with
the battery installed in household
waste, fire (risk of explosion) or
water. Damaged batteries may
damage the environment and
your health if toxic fumes or liq
-
uids leak out.
• Dispose of the equipment with the bat-
tery discharged. Do not open the equip-
ment or the battery.
• Dispose of the equipment in accord-
ance with the local regulations. Take the
equipment to a collection point, where
it will be recycled in an environmentally
friendly manner. For information about
this, ask your local waste management
company or our service centre. Inform
the recycling centre about the fixed-
installed rechargeable battery.
• Defective units returned to us will be dis-
posed of for free.
• Place cut branches in compost and not
in the dustbin.
