Danger! When using the equipment, a few safety pre- cautions must be observed to avoid injuries and damage. Please read the complete operating instructions and safety regulations with due care. Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the in- formation is available at all times. If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.

1. Safety regulations

General safety instructions for electric tools Danger! Read all safety regulations and instructions. Any errors made in following the safety regula- tions and instructions may result in an electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use. The term “electric tool” used in the safety inst- ructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).

a) Keep your work area clean and well illu- minated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents. b) Do not operate the electric tool in an en- vironment where there is a risk of explo- sions and where there are infl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produ- ce sparks which could set the dust or vapours alight. c) Keep the electric tool out of the reach of children and other persons. If there is a distraction, you may lose control of the appli- ance.

2. Electrical safety

a) The connector plug from this electric tool must fi t into the socket. The plug should never be altered in any way. Never use ad- apter plugs together with earthed electric tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock. b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur- faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and fridges. The risk of electric shock is increa- sed if your body is earthed. c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock. d) Do not use the cable to carry the electric tool, to hang it up or to pull it out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts of the appliance. Damaged or entangled cables increase the risk of an electric shock. e) If you are working outdoors with an elec- tric tool, only use extension cables which are designed specifi cally for this purpose. Using specially designed outdoor extension cables, the risk of electric shock is reduced. f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp environment can not be avoided, use a earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth- leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3. Safety of persons

a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the infl u- ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries. b) Wear personal protection equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protection (such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear protection, depending upon the type and use of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury. c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the electric tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or insert the battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your fi nger is on the switch whilst carrying the elec- tric tool or if you connect the appliance to the mains when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents. d) Remove keys and wrenches before swit- ching on the electric tool. A tool or key which comes into contact with rotating parts of the appliance can lead to injuries. e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times. In this way, you can control the electric tool better in unexpected Anl_PE_AB_36_Li_Basic_SPK7.indb 113Anl_PE_AB_36_Li_Basic_SPK7.indb 113 24.11.2017 06:31:4624.11.2017 06:31:46GB

circumstances. f) Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clo- thes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can get trapped in moving parts. g) If vacuuming devices and draining de- vices can be fi tted, make sure that these are correctly attached and correctly used. The use of a dust extraction system can redu- ce the danger posed by dust.

4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool

a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct tool for your work. You will be able to work better and more safely within the gi- ven performance boundaries. b) Do not use an electric tool with a defec- tive switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the battery before making any ad- justments to the appliance, changing ac- cessories or put the appliance down. This safety measure prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally. d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the appliance or who have not read these instructions to use the appliance. Electric tools are dange- rous if they are used by inexperienced people. e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check whether moving parts are functioning properly and not jamming, whether parts are broken or damaged enough that the functioning of this electric tool is aff ec- ted. Have damaged parts repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents are caused by badly maintained electric tools. f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to control. g) Make sure to use electric tools, accesso- ries, attachments, etc. in accordance with these instructions. Take the conditions in your work area and the job in hand into account. Using electric tools for any purpose other than the one for which they are intended can lead to dangerous situations.

5. Using and handling the cordless tool

a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is designed for a certain type of battery may pose a fi re risk if it is used with other types of battery. b) Use only the correct batteries in the elec- tric tools. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and a fi re risk. c) Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other metallic objects that could cause a short circuit between the contacts. A short cir- cuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or a fi re. d) In case of incorrect use, fl uid may escape from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If you touch it by accident, rinse the aff ec- ted area with water. If you get the fl uid in your eyes, also seek medical advice. Leaking battery fl uid can cause skin irritation or burns.

a) Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your elec- tric tool remains safe to use. Additional safety instructions We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries which feature maximum power den- sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac- teristic curves are recorded. These data are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs. Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exer- cised when handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama- ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can cause cell damage. Important: Analyses confi rm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes of the damage caused by high performance batteries.

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless

tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst time.

2. For optimum battery performance avoid low

discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack frequently.

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally

at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural

ageing process. The battery pack must be replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened cells in an aged battery pack are no longer capable of meeting the high power require- ments and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.

There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.

Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery cells. The most common cause of exhaustive discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of partly discharged batteries. Stop working as soon as the performance of the battery falls noticeably or the electronic protection system triggers. Place the battery pack in storage only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from over-

loads. Overloads will quickly result in over- heating and cell damage inside the battery housing without this overheating actually being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batte-

ries which have been dropped from a height of more than one meter or which have been exposed to violent shocks without delay, even if the housing of the battery pack appears to be undamaged. The battery cells inside the battery may have suff ered serious damage. In this respect, please also read the waste disposal information.

10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and

overheating, the integrated protective cut-off will switch off the equipment for safety rea- sons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF switch any more if the protective cut-off has actuated. This may damage the battery pack.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use of

other batteries may result in injuries, explosi- on and a fi re risk. Information on chargers and the charging process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating

plate of the battery charger. Be sure to con- nect the battery charger to a power supply with the voltage marked on the rating plate. Never connect it to a diff erent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from

damage and sharp edges. Have damaged cables repaired without delay by a qualifi ed electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the

cordless tool out of children’s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to

charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become

warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not ex-

ceed the maximum charging times. These charging times only apply to discharged batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged or partly charged battery pack will result in over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-

pect that the last time they were charged was more than 12 months previously. The- re is a high probability that the battery pack has already suff ered dangerous damage (exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below

10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell and may cause a fi re.

10. Do not use batteries which have heated du-

ring the charging process, as the battery cells may have suff ered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered

curvature or deformation during the charging process or which show other non-typical sym- ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-

commended depth of discharge max. 80%) A complete discharge of the battery pack will lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety gog-

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery

charger from moisture and rain. Moisture and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery

charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools

only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe- rature of 10-40°C.

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places

where the temperature is liable to reach over 40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-

loads, over-charging and exposure to direct sunlight will result in overheating and cell damage. Never charge or work with batteries which have been overheated – replace them immediately if possible.

7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers

and cordless tools. Store the charger and your cordless tool only in dry places with an ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully charged batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free-

zing. Battery packs which were stored below 0°C for more than 60 minutes must be dispo- sed of.

9. When handling batteries beware of electro-

static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause damage of the electronic protection system and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char- ging and never touch the battery poles. Special safety information

Press the wheel caps (Fig. 3d/Item 11) onto the transport wheels.

Secure the cable to the push bars with 2 cable clips (Fig. 3g/Item 7). Charging the battery (Fig. 4a/4b) The equipment is supplied without batteries and without a charger.

1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment. To

do so, press the pushlock button (Fig. 4a/Item C).

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.

3. Insert the battery pack into the charger.

4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you

will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. The battery pack can become a little warm during the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack fails to charge, check:

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet

whether there is good contact at the charging contacts. If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

and the battery pack to our customer service center. To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser- vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully di- scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect. Installing the battery (Fig. 4c-4d) Open the battery cover. This is done by pressing the lock release (A) as shown in Fig. 4b and swin- ging up the cover. Then connect the two batteries into the mounts as shown in Fig. 4d and push them forward until you hear the batteries engage. Important! Use only batteries which are charged to the same level. Never combine full and half-full batteries. Al- ways charge the two batteries simultaneously. The equipment‘s operating time depends on the battery with the lower charge level. The two bat- teries must always be fully charged before use. Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and make sure that it latches in place correctly. Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a) Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a/Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Fig. 4a/Item B) shows the charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs. All 3 LEDs are lit: The battery is fully charged. 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit: The battery has an adequate remaining charge. 1 LED blinks: The battery is empty, recharge the battery. All LEDs fl ash: The battery pack has undergone exhaustive di- scharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery pack!

Danger! To prevent accidental start-up of the ma- chine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point switch (Fig. 10/Item A) which must be pressed before the lever switch (Fig. 10/Item B) can be pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machi- ne switches off . Repeat this process several times so that you are sure that your machine functions properly. Before you perform any repair or mainte- nance work on the machine, ensure that the hoe blades are not rotating and that the power supply is disconnected. The equipment must be moved into operating position before you begin with your work. First pull the locking pin (Fig. 11/Item A) in the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 11 and swing up the wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the equipment into transport position. Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the long handles) is maintained between the machine and the user. Be especially careful when changing direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and long trousers. Always work along the incline (not up and down). Use special caution when backing up and pulling the machine (tripping hazard).

6.2 Tips for proper working

Place the machine in front of the area you wish to hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades over the area. To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that you guide the machine in straight lines wherever possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should always overlap each other by a few centimeters in order to avoid bare strips. Switch off the motor promptly when you arrive at the end of the area you wished to hoe. The motor must be switched off when you raise the machine (for example to change direction). Keep the underside of the machine clean and re- move soil deposits. Deposits make it more diffi cult to start the machine and decrease the working depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined areas. The machine must be switched off and the mains cable disconnected before you make any checks on the hoe blades. Warning! The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the motor is switched off . Never att- empt to manually stop them. In the event that the rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately switch off the machine and wait for the hoe blades to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the con- dition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that are damaged.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Hazard! Always pull out the safety plug before making ad- justments or carrying out maintenance, cleaning and repair work on the equipment. Make sure that the blade shaft is not turning.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the mo- tor housing free of dirt and dust as far as pos- sible. 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 at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

7.2 Replace the hoe blades

For safety reasons, we recommend having the hoe blades replaced by an authorized professio- nal (see address on warranty certifi cate). Wear working gloves. Use only genuine spare parts since otherwise the function and safety of the machine cannot be guaranteed.

Ensure that all mounting components (i.e. screws, bolts, nuts etc.) are always tightened so that the machine can be safely operated at all times. Store the device in a dry room. All the metal parts should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that they provide a long life. For best results, clean the plas- tic parts of the machine with a brush or rag. Do not use any solvents to remove dirt. For space saving storage undo the star nuts (Fig. Anl_PE_AB_36_Li_Basic_SPK7.indb 120Anl_PE_AB_36_Li_Basic_SPK7.indb 120 24.11.2017 06:31:4624.11.2017 06:31:46GB

3e 3f /Item 8) and fold together the push bars as shown in Fig. 8. Ensure that you do not damage the cable.
