- The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another;

- The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

- The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared values depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed:

- The emissions value need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the

operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running ide in addition to the trigger time).

Recommendation for the operator to wear hearing protection.

4.4 OPERATION Charge the product illustration @:2) to 2)

The battery charger supplied matches the lithium-ion battery installed in the tool. Do not use other battery chargers. The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, a protective circuit will automatically switch OFF the product. The blade will no longer move and a slight whistling sound will be heard. Charge the battery for 3 hours then use it until it runs down (ie. the tools starts to operate slowly). Recharge for 3 hours again before resuming operation.

WARNING : Continued and excessive overuse of the ON/OFF trigger switch can permanently damage the lithiumion battery.

û CAUTION : THIS CHARGER DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF WHEN THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED. PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT DO AEAUE THE BATTERY GRASS SHEAR PLUGGED INTO THE Switch off or unplug the charger at the mains when charging is complete.

NOTE : The charge level indicator LED light will illuminate red when the charger is plugged in and is charging the grass shear. The middle LED light will turn green when the battery grass shear is fully charged.

The charging process starts as soon as the charger is plugged into both the proper electrical outlet 230V- and the tool.

- During the charging procedure, the handle of the tool will feel slightly warm to the touch. This is normal.

=When no further use is planned for an extended period of time, disconnect the battery charger from the outlet and the unit.

-Do not use the tool duringthe charging procedure.

Battery charging : The Length of service between each charging varies depending on the type of work you are doing. The battery in this battery grass shear has been designed to provide maximum trouble-free life, However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out. To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

Store and charge your battery grass shear in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room temperature will shorten battery life.

- Never store the battery grass shear with the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge the unit immediately after it is discharged.

- Al batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature is, the faster they lose their charge. If you store your battery grass shear for long periods of time without using it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This will extend battery life. Do not charge the battery pack when the air temperature falls below4 °C or above 40 °C. Following these safety measures will prevent damage to the battery pack.

1. Plug the charger adaptor into an appropriate AC power outlet. Connect the AC adaptor charger plug into the charging socket of the battery grass shear and to start charging.

2. The battery will take approximately 3 hours to charge. Charging may take up to 5 hours due to the level of charge left in the battery and the ambient temperature. NOTE : A charge Level indicator LED light will always be illuminated when the charger is plugged in and the mains power is turned on. The charge indicator indicates the charge status of the battery grass shear as shown below

WARNING : ENSURE THE BLADE DOES NOT TOUCH ANY OBJECTS BEFORE TURNING ON THE PRODUCT.

To turn the tool ON, push and hold the safety Lock-off button with your thumb, while pressing the ON/OFF trigger switch with your forefinger. Once the trigger switch engages, you can release the safety lock-off button and proceed with operation.

NOTE : The safety lock-off button reduces the risk of accidental starting.

To turn the tool OFF, release the ON/OFF trigger switch.

General operation illustration (41) to When older hedges are to be cut back a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 8 mm diameter) to the desired Length before starting work with the grass shear. To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme edges of the hedge and then trim along the Length of the line. Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any object made of hard material that could damage it, such as fencing wire or metallic plant supports. Cutting tips

1. Shaping The hedge should be trimmed to achieve a trapezoidal form, it should widen toward the

bottom at both sides. This improves the penetration of light to the lower extremities. À general guideline is approximately 10cm slant for each 1 meter of edge height.

2. Cutting sequence First cut both sides, starting at the bottom and working to the top: this prevents cuttings from falling into the area where you are still to work.

3. Trimming the top Where the branches have grown extremely Long, cut back the hedge in several stages. The shorter cuttings obtained are better suited for composting. After use Switch the product off and Let it cool down. Check, clean and store the product as described below.

lustration (61) to 63)

Keep all safety devices, air vents, and motor housing free of debris and dirt. Wipe down the equipment with a cloth and/or compressed air It is highly suggested that you clean the device after every use

Do not use cleaning agents, as these can attack the plastic and weaken the structural integrity ofthe grass shear.

Clean and lubricate the blades

To ensure many years of efficient and trouble-free operation, blade cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have built-up, or if you live in an area where the soil is sandy. Cleaning unusually heavy deposits may require removal of the blades. For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade before and after each use. Stop the product. Lay the battery grass shear on a flat surface. Apply lightweight product oil along the edge of the top blade, If you will be using the battery grass shear for an extended period, it is advisable to stop work intermittently in order to re-oil the blade.

NOTE: DO NOT OIL WHILE THE BATTERY GRASS SHEAR IS RUNNING.

8.2 REPLACEMENT Fitting and changing the blades (21) to
