- Avoid taking up an abnormal posture and ensure that you have a firm footing. Always retain your balance, especially on hills or slopes. Having a firm footing and a suitable posture will enable you to control the screwdriver with grass shear adapter better in unexpected situations.

18 | English

Operation

Starting Operation

Place the screwdriver with grass shear adapter on the blade to put it down. This prevents moisture from penetrating into the power tool.

Switching On and Off

• Pull off the blade guard 3 of the blade 2.
• To start the screwdriver with grass shear adapter, press the locking switch 8 upward.
• Set the rotational direction using the rotational direction switch 6. The grass shear adapter can be operated in right or left rotation.

• Set the rotational direction switch 6 to the middle position.
• Press the locking switch 8 downward.
• Attach the blade guard 3 to the blade 2. The blade guard 3 must audibly engage.

Edging

Guide the screwdriver with grass shear adapter along the lawn edge. Prevent the blade from coming into contact with paved paths, stones or garden walls because this significantly reduces the lifetime of the blade. Attach the blade guard to the blade again after use.
