Intended use

Application note:

The battery-powered grass and shrub shear can not and should not replace your hedge shears.

They are exclusively designed to trim and cut back ornamental shrubs and brush -wood with a low wood thickness. Any other use is not deemed appropriate and the manufacturer/ supplier is not liable for damages resulting from such use.

If required, the shrub trimmer may be easily turned into a grass trimmer by replacing the assembled shearing blade with the one provided with your package.

General safety instructions

Attention! Read all instructions contained herein. Failure to observe the following instructions may result in electric shock, burns and/or severe injury. The term 'power tool' used in the following includes both mains-operated tools (with mains supply) and battery-operated tools (without mains supply).

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!

Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:

• Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that is stuck between the blades only with the tool being switched off! When working with hedge trimmers even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the cutting blades standing still. Always put on the protection cover when transporting or storing the hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of injury through the cutting blades.

1) Working area

a) Do not operate the tool in potentially explosive environments containing combustible fluids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that may ignite dusts or fumes.

2) Electrical safety

a) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces as pipes, heaters, ovens and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body earthed.
b) Keep the tool out of the rain. The penetration of water into a power tool increases the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Always pay attention to what you do and apply reasonable care when working with a power tool. Do not use the tool when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. When working with power tools even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in severe injury.
b) Do not overestimate your abilities. Take care of a safe footing and keep your balance at all times. This will allow you to better control the tool in unexpected situations.

4) Careful handling and use of power tools

a) Do not use a power tool with a damaged switch. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off any more is dangerous and must be repaired.
b) Never allow people unfamiliar with these instructions or children to use the machine. Local regulations can restrict the age of the operator.
c) Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents or hazards occurring to other people or their property.
d) Store power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to use the tool if they are not familiar with the tool or these instructions. Power tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.

5) Appropriate handling and use of battery-operated power tools

a) Make sure that the device has been switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a switched-on power tool may lead to accidents!
b) Only use charging devices recommended by the manufacturer to charge the batteries. Charging units are usually designed for certain types of batteries; if used with other types there is a risk of fire!
c) Only use batteries designed for your power tool. The use of other batteries may lead to injury and risk of fire!
d) Keep unused batteries clear of paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that may bridge the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may lead to burns or fire!
e) Improper use may result in fluid leaking out of the battery. Avoid any contact with battery fluid. Flush with water in case of contact. If battery fluid should get into your eyes seek medical advice additionally. Leaking battery fluid may lead to irritations of the skin or burns!

Before starting

Charging the battery

Safety Instructions

The tool is delivered with the lithium-ion battery charged. However, we recommend recharging the battery before the tool is operated for the first time.

• Use the included charging unit for charging the battery only. It is specially designed to match the tool's battery.
• Never use other charging unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion hazard!
• Always keep the charging unit clear of rain or moisture. Hazard of electric shock! - Never charge the battery in the open without protection, always choose a dry, protected place.
• Never try to charge third-party batteries with this charging unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion hazard!
• Check the housing, plug and cable for damage before each use of the charging unit. Do not use the unit if you detect damage.
• Do not open the charging unit by force. In case of a defect, the charging unit must be replaced.
• The charging unit heats up during the charging process. Do not place the unit on a flammable surface or operate it in a flammable environment. Fire hazard!
• Never open the battery cells. Hazard of short circuits!
• In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours or fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact flush with water and seek medical advice immediately. The fluid may have irritating or caustic effects on the skin.
• Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and fire. Explosion hazard!

Charging process:

To charge the battery connect the charging unit to an electrical socket. Then connect the plug of the charging cable to the charging socket of the grass and shrub shears or trimmer (fig. 2)

The start of the charging process is indicated by the green control light (X) fig. 2 at the end of the handle. If the battery is completely empty the charging time is about 6 hours. After the charging process has been completed, the electronic control automatically switches off the charging process. The green control light extinguishes thereby indicating the end of the charging process. It is not required to monitor the charging time.

The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up during the charging process. This is nothing unusual.

Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.

The tool must never be switched on during the charging process!

Recharge the battery every time you realise a considerable decrease of the tool's cutting performance. The battery additionally features an electronic total discharge protection that protects the battery from damage. This feature switches the battery off if the discharging thresh-

GB | Operating Instruction

old is reached. Do not switch the tool on afterwards and make sure to recharge the battery first.

Switching the tool on/off

Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 3) forward and push switch B. After the tool has been switched on, you do not have to hold the switch-on lock A any longer.

To switch off just let go of the switch B.

Attention! The blades will coast for a certain time after switch-off!

Refitting the tool / Changing the shear systems

Put the included blade guard into the blade(s) and use protective gloves to protect yourself from injury.

Push both lateral push buttons concurrently and re-move the shearing blades (Fig. 5).

Remove any dirt from the gear area (if necessary).

Please slightly grease the drive area using commercial universal grease as described in the Maintenance section before putting the replacement shears in place (Fig.7).

Lead the cutting blades with the rear holding toe into the housing of the grass shears as shown in fig. 6 and lock the click system in place by strongly pushing on the blade base plate.

The position of the eccentric drive does not have to be considered when changing the blades. When the device is switched on, the gear eccentric unit automatically engages into the appropriate relief in the shearing blade.

The device is now ready for operation.

Hints for your work with the tool

The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and light undergrowth or bushes. The device is also well-suited for ornamental cuts as, for example, for the care of graves.

The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or hardly accessible lawn areas.

As the device is operated with one hand please be careful not to move the other hand near the running cutting tools.

Maintenance (Fig.7)

Clean the blade from any crushed plants and dirt. The blades should be detached at least once a season for the removal of debris. Lubricate the C pinion and the D back of the blade with a light oil. Do not lubricate the motor and other parts. Should the blade become dull after a long period of use, a spare part can be ordered.

Warning! The leading edges of the blades must be oiled to ensure proper lubrication. If the leading edges are not oiled, blade durability may be adversely affected.

If the cutting tools have become dull after long use please replace them with original spare parts.

Clean the device using only a brush or cloth. Do never wash down the device with water and do never dip the device into water.

Apply protective spray to the blades after each use.

Replace blunt blades.

Always put on the blade guard after use.

Examine the tool for obvious defects and have it repaired in an authorised service shop if required.

Storage

Always store the tool in a dry, clean place outside the reach of children. Make sure that the place of storage is frost-free.
