Working Advice

Protect the battery from heat, for ex-
ample continuous exposure to sun ra-
diation and fire.
Product will not function if tempera-
ture is below 0 °C or above 45 °C!
Cutting Grass (see figure J)
Move the cordless trimmer left and right, keep-
ing it well away from the body.
The trimmer can efficiently cut grass up to a
height of 15 cm. Cut higher grass in stages.
Trimming Edges
Guide the cordless trimmer along the edge of
the lawn. Avoid contact with paved surfaces,
stones or garden walls, as this will wear the
blade rapidly.
For better control, use the plant protector 19
(accessory) as a guide. (see figure K)
