The battery must be charged before using for
the first time, after which it must be charged
as soon as the performance of the product
is reduced. The battery can get hot when
charging. This is quite normal.
1. To charge the battery, remove it from the
product and put it in the charger.
2. Fit the battery carefully in the charger –
do not use force. There is only one way
the battery fits in the charger.
3. Plug the charger into a power point and
put the power switch on the charger in
the ON position.
IMPORTANT:
The recommended battery temperature
when charging is 24°C and the permissible
temperature is 0 to 40°C. If the temperature
of the battery cells is below or over the
permissible temperature range the charger
will not charge the battery.
BEFORE STARTING THE PRODUCT
1. Insert the battery in the battery
compartment.
2. Remove the guard.
3. Make sure that the blade is not touching
anything.
STARTING/SWITCHING OFF
1. Hold the product firmly with the right
hand on the back handle and the left
hand on the front handle.
2. Press forward the start inhibitor with your
thumb and press the power switch at the
same time.
3. Release the start inhibitor.
4. Release the power switch to switch off.
WARNING!
• Both switches must be activated to start
and run the product. The product
switches off if one of the two switches is
released.
• Release the switch immediately if the
bar is blocked during work, or if the
product gets caught among the
branches.
• Never attempt to lock either switch in
the ON position.
ANGLING THE BACK HANDLE
1. Press the catch to angle the back handle
and turn it so that the hedge trimmer can
be held comfortably with the left or right
hand.
2. Release the catch after adjusting,
otherwise it is not possible to press in the
power switch.
FIG. 2
CUTTING
• Trim the sides of the hedge first. Work
from the bottom and up to avoid cuttings
falling down into the untrimmed parts of
the hedge. The bar should be held at an
angle of 5° in relation to the area being
trimmed. This produces the best trimming
results. Trim the top of the hedge next.
Long hedges should be trimmed in several
steps.
• Hedges should be trimmed so that they
acquire an upwards tapering, trapezoidal
cross section. This allows sunlight to
penetrate down better into the hedge and
promotes growth to mainly take place in
the top parts of the hedge.
• A string can be stretched at the required
height along the length of the hedge to
help get a straight line. Trim just above
the string.
NOTE:
For more extensive trimming of older hedges
the thick branches should be cut separately
