Charging the battery (Fig. 6)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the pushlock button (Fig.
1/Item 9).
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(5) into the mains socket outlet. The green
LED will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (6) into the battery
charger (5).
4. In section “Charger indicator“ you will find a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator
on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless hedge trim-
mer drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack.
This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-han-
ded safety switch. The machine works only when
the switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3)
is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with the
other hand. If either switch is released, the cutters
will stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters
as they slow down to a standstill.
Notes on working practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Figure 7).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Figure 8).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 9).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
10).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Turn off and remove the rechargeable battery
from the hedge trimmer, before putting down or
cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
