If battery pack is below normal temperature range, the green LED on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach normal temperature, then the red LED will come on. Q

Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.

Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 10 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems. If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string. See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 5. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery pack before attempting to remove the obstruction. Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping

F GB D E I P NL S DK N FIN GR HU CZ RU RO PL SLO HR TR EST LT LV SK BG English action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
