Wear ear-muffs.
The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.
Total vibration values (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745.
Vibration emission value a_h = 18.546 m/s²
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s²

The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.
The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.
The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger.

Charging the battery

(Fig. 3-4)

1. 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 into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
2. Insert the battery pack into the battery charger.
3. 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 service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless hedge trimmer drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to develop a defect.

Battery capacity indicator

(Fig. 5)
Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator. The battery capacity indicator shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED flashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs flash:
The battery pack has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery pack.

Installing the battery

(Fig. 6-7)
Push the battery into the battery mount provided. When the battery is positioned as in Fig. 7, make sure that the pushlock button latches in place! To remove the battery, press the pushlock button and take out the battery (Fig. 8).

Operation

Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.
Please refer to the table in section 12 for the charging time.

Mounting the polishing bonnet on the polishing disk

(Fig. 9)

1. Turn the car polishing machine upside down so that the polishing disk is facing up.
2. Pull the textile polishing bonnet over the polishing disk. Make sure that the textile polishing bonnet is free of any foreign bodies.

Applying wax/polishing paste to the textile polishing bonnet

(Fig. 10)
Note: Use only high-quality waxing and polishing products and follow the processing instructions issued by the manufacturer on the packaging. Distribute the polishing agent evenly as far as the edge of the textile polishing bonnet so that a uniform, thin coating is produced overall.

Note: Applying too much polishing agent will only make it more difficult to remove the layer of polishing agent later from the paintwork and will not improve the results.

Switching on and applying the polishing agent to the paintwork

Note: The paintwork you want to process must be carefully cleaned and completely dry. Severely oxidized paintwork requires the use of a special cleaner.

Select a cleaner from the products available to suit the state of the paintwork and the stress it is exposed to.

1. Dab with the textile polishing bonnet on different positions of the paintwork you want to polish. This will help to distribute any excess polishing agent over the textile polishing bonnet and/or over the paintwork you want to polish.
2. Hold the handle of the equipment firmly in both hands, place the polishing machine onto the paintwork you want to polish (Fig. 11) and switch on the equipment by pressing the On/ Off switch (Fig. 1 / Item 3).
   
3. First work on the large level surfaces such as the engine hood, boot lid and roof (Fig. 12), then on the smaller surfaces such as the doors and mudguards (Fig. 13). Guide the equipment smoothly over the paintwork, exerting no pressure.
   
   
4. Switch off the equipment with the On/Off switch (Fig. 1 / Item 3) before you remove it from the paintwork you are polishing.
5. For areas which are difficult to reach, remove the textile polishing bonnet from the polishing disk and process these areas by hand (Fig. 14).
   

Polishing the paintwork with the synthetic polishing bonnet

Note: After the previously applied polishing agent has dried completely on the paintwork, you can begin with the polishing. Damp polish will be smeared by the synthetic polishing bonnet.

1. Replace the textile polishing bonnet with the synthetic polishing bonnet. Make sure that the synthetic polishing bonnet is free of any foreign bodies.
2. Remove the polish layer in the same order in which you applied the polishing agent to the paintwork. Be sure to follow the instructions issued for using the waxing and polishing agent.

Replacing the power cable

Information on the charger
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning and maintenance

Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

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 using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
• Wash the polishing bonnets only by hand and let them air-dry.
• When the polishing machine is not being used it should be stored face up with the polishing bonnet removed so that the polishing disk can dry and retain its original shape.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
