3. Proper use

The equipment is designed for cutting the edges of lawns and small areas of grass in private and hobby gardens.

Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers, along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector. For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to follow the instructions set out in the manufacturer's directions for use.

Important! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop material for composting because of the potential danger to persons and property.

The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

5. Before starting

5.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 1, 3)

• Connect the charger to the charging station (Figure 5).
• Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Plug the battery charger in a socket-outlet. The red LED (Figure 5 / Item 1) comes on to indicate that charging voltage is available.
• The battery pack is being charged. An empty battery pack requires a maximum charging period of 3 to 5 hours. The temperature of the battery pack may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal.
• As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the red LED (Fig. 5/Item 1) extinguishes

If the rechargeable battery fails to charge, check whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.

Timely recharging of the battery pack will help it serve you well for a long time. Recharging is always necessary when you notice a drop in the tool's performance.

Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

5.2 Fitting the long handle

Using the telescopic long handle (Fig. 1/Item 5) you can push the cordless shears on wheels over the lawn.

To fit the long handle, push the mount (Fig. 3a/Item 8) onto the long handle until the lock engages in one of the recesses on the mount. The equipment is provided with one recess at the top for standard cutting and two recesses on the left and right for cutting edges. Now pass the wheels (Fig. 3b/Item 2) through the axle mount and plug together.

Undo the clamp coupling (Fig. 1/Item 6), adjust the telescopic handle to the required length and then retighten the clamp coupling again. Now push the equipment in the direction indicated by the arrow into the mount (Fig. 4a/Item 8) as shown in Figure 4a. Ensure that the mount locks into the recesses correctly. Then connect the power plug (Fig. 4b/Item 1) to the equipment as shown in Figure 4b. To disassemble, proceed in reverse order.

Important!

It is prohibited to remove or bridge any of the switching elements installed on the tool by the manufacturer (e.g. by securing a button to the handle) as this would prevent the tool from switching off automatically and result in high risk of injury. Under no circumstances are you to use the shrub cutter with the telescopic long handle fitted.

6. Operation

The area to be cut must first be cleared of stones and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 3) prevents the tool being started unintentionally. Activate the safety lock-off (Figure 1 / Item 3) by pushing it forward and pressing the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 4) at the same time. To switch off the tool, let go of the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 / Item 4).

6.1 Cutting grass

Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground. The best results are achieved when the lawn is dry. When you notice a drop in cutting performance, recharge the tool immediately so that the battery does not become fully discharged.

6.2 Trimming hedges

The tool can be used to trim small hedges and shrubs.

Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge you want to cut.

First cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut the top.

Watch out for foreign objects in or on the hedge which could damage the blades.

When is the best time to trim hedges?

• As a general rule, hedges which lose their leaves in the autumn should be trimmed in June and October.
  Hedges which do not lose their leaves should be cut in April and August.

6.3. Changing the blades

Important. Risk of injury!

To remove the blades, raise the lug (Fig. 6/Item 1) and push off the cover (Fig. 6/Item 2) in direction of the arrow. Once you have removed the blade you will be able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit (Fig. 7). Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear unit when you change the blade. To assemble, proceed in reverse order.

When you fit the hedge cutter blade

check the position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter blade and slide the eccentric mount (Fig. 8/Item 1) into position so that the pin for the eccentric connector and the eccentric mount fit together precisely when assembled. Slot the hedge cutter blade onto the guide pins (Fig. 7/Item 2).

When you fit the grass cutter blade

check the position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) again. Shift the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) on the grass cutter blade to the left or the right to find the position at which the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) and the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) match up.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

7.1 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.
• A few drops of oil (e.g. sewing machine oil) will improve the cutting performance of the blades, but never apply any grease to the blades. To ensure constant exact cutting it is also important to remove grass remnants and dirt from between the upper and lower blade.

Important!

Never clean the tool under running water - and particularly never with high pressure - because of the potential danger to persons and property. Keep your cordless grass cutter and hedge trimmer in a dry and frost-proof place. Choose a place that children are unable to enter.

7.2 Maintenance

To achieve good results you should keep the blades sharp at all times. In particular we recommend that you immediately level off any jags or ridges caused by stones or the like. The tool should be thoroughly cleaned both before and after use.
- There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

7.3 Ordering replacement parts:

For EU countries only

Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:

As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components which are included with the used device.
