Initial charging procedure [ Fig. C ]:
1. Use the charger indoors only.
2. Ensure the charger is not exposed to moisture. Keep the charger
and the battery pack dry at all times. Keep the charger well ventilated
during charging.
3. Attach the charger connector (C1) to the battery pack.
4. Plug the charger (C2) into a suitable household electrical wall socket
and switch on.

6. Full charge will be achieved in 2.5 – 3 hours after which the indicator
lamp on the charger (C3) will turn to green. During charging the
charger becomes warm. This is normal and means the charger is
operating correctly.
To re-charge the battery pack:
1. Re-charge the battery pack as soon as the cutting power of your
trimmer begins to die and slow down.
2. Avoid running the battery pack into "deep" discharge, i. e. avoid
flattening the battery pack completely.
3. Follow the procedure outlined in the Initial Charging Procedure.
4. Charging the battery pack according to these instructions should
ensure maximum battery life.
To assemble the battery pack [ Fig. C / D ]:
1. Attach the battery pack as illustrated in Fig. D, ensuring that it clicks
into position and is located firmly.
2. To remove, depress the locking button (C4) pull firmly and slide off.
To start the hedge trimmer [ Fig. E / F / G ]:

How to use the hedge trimmer:
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use – remove objects which can be
thrown or become entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the hedgetrimmer in front of your body. Hold handle firmly
with both hands and stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material
to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls,
large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the hedgetrimmer and clear jammed
debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as
needed.
Work positions:
– Top cutting [ Fig. H ]
Use a wide sweeping motion (H). A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
– Side Cutting [ Fig. J ]
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and
cut upwards (J), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape
will expose more of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
