Before Use
Charging Procedure
The battery charger supplied matches to the Li-ion
battery installed in the machine. Do not use other
battery chargers.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep dis-
charging. When the battery is empty, the machine is
switched off by means of a protective circuit: The
blade no longer moves and a slight whistling sound
can be heard.
If the On/Off switch is subject to continued
use, the Li-ion battery can be damaged.
The charging process starts as soon as the
A
mains plug of the battery charger 7 is inserted in the
socket and the machine is then placed on the battery
charger.
The battery charge indicator 2 lights up green to in-
dicate the charging procedure.The battery is fully
charged as soon as the battery charge indicator 2 is
no longer lit.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the
machine warms up. This is normal.
When not using for extended periods, disconnect
the battery charger from the socket.
Do not use the machine during the charging pro-
cedure.

Shrub shear
Cutting hedges
Before cutting check the hedge for foreign objects
e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting,
move steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are
fed directly into the cutter blades. The double edge
of the cutting blade enables cutting to either direc-
tion, or with a side to side motion.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Recommended cutting/trimming times:
– Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June and
October.
– Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
– Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs approx.
every six weeks from May onwards.
Grass shear/Grass shear with
telescopic handle
Edging
D
Guide the machine along the edge of the lawn. Do
not allow the blade to contact paved surfaces,
stones or garden walls, since this will wear the blade
rapidly.
For larger lawn it is advisable to use the telescopic
handle (available as an accessory or supplier with
"grass shear and telescopic handle" set).
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Maintenance
Note: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out
the following maintenance regularly.
Check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged
or damaged blade, loose fixings and worn or dam-
aged components.
