Before Using
Charging Procedure
The battery charger supplied matches the lithium-ion battery
installed in the tool. Do not use other battery chargers.
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging.
When the battery is empty, a protective circuit will
automatically switch OFF the machine. The blade will no
longer move.
Charge the battery up to 65 minutes then use it until it runs
down (i.e. the tools starts to operate slowly). Recharge for
up to 65 minutes again before resuming operation.

WARNING!
Continued and excessive overuse of the
ON/OFF trigger switch can permanently damage the lithium-
ion battery.
m
CAUTION!
This charger does not automatically turn
off when the battery is fully charged.
Please take care not
to leave the pruner plugged into the charger.
Switch off or unplug the charger at the mains when
charging is complete.
NOTE: The charge level indicator LED light will illuminate red
when the charger is plugged in and is charging the cordless
pruner. The LED light will turn green when the pruner is fully
charged.
The charging process starts as soon as the charger is plugged
into both the proper electrical outlet and the tool.
• During the charging procedure, the handle and the housing
of the tool will feel slightly warm to the touch. This is
normal.
• When no further use is planned for an extended period of
time, disconnect the battery charger from the outlet and the
unit.
• Do not use the tool during the charging procedure.
Battery Charging
The length of service between each charging varies depending
on the type of work you are doing. The battery in this pruner
has been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life.
However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out. To obtain
the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your cordless pruner in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery life.
• Never store the cordless pruner with the battery in a
discharged condition. Recharge the unit immediately after
it is discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you
store your cordless pruner for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This will
extend battery life.
NOTE: The cordless pruner has been shipped in a low charge
condition and should be fully charged before use.
1. Plug the charger adapter into an appropriate AC power
outlet. Connect the AC adapter charger plug into the
charging socket of the cordless pruner to start charging
(Fig. 4).
2. The LED charging indicator will illuminate red during
charging. After the unit is fully charged, the charging
indicator will turn green (Fig. 5).
3. The battery will take approximately 65 minutes to charge.
Charging time may vary due to the level of charge left in
the battery and the ambient temperature.
Operation
IMPORTANT! The product is intended for light-duty pruning of
shrubs and hedges for residential properties.
NOTE: Charge the battery up to 65 minutes then use it until it
runs down (i.e. the tool will only slowly operate). Recharge for
up to 65 minutes again before resuming operation.
m
WARNING!
The blades continue to move for a few
seconds after the tool is switched OFF. Turn OFF the tool and
wait until the blades come to a complete stop before adjusting
or cleaning.
