4. Important information

● The battery pack supplied with the tool is not charged. The battery pack has to be charged before you use the tool for the first time.
- Charge the battery pack with the charger supplied. Do not use the supplied charger to charge other items of equipment.
● The battery pack does not reach its maximum capacity until it has been charged and discharged approximately five times.
● NC battery packs lose their charge even when they are not being used. Regular charging is therefore recommended.
- Please check the data marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Connect the battery charger only to an identical mains supply to that on the rating plate.
- In heavy use the battery pack will become warm. Allow it to cool to room temperature before commencing with the charging.
● Never throw old batteries in the fire. Risk of explosion!
- Used and defective batteries do not belong in the refuse bin. Think of the environment - cadmium is toxic. For proper disposal of used and defective batteries, send them postage-paid to the ISC company or take them to a special collecting station in your area. Ask at your local council offices for the nearest used battery collecting station.
- Protect the battery charger and cable from damage and sharp edges. Damaged cables are to be replaced without delay by an electrician.

The noise level of this power tool is measured according to ISO 3744, NFS 31-031 (84/538/EWG). Noise level at work area can exceed 85 dB (A). In that case operators should protect themselves against damage to hearing. The vibrations are measured according ISO 5349.

7. Starting up

7.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 1, 3)
● The charging station can be used as a wall holder.
- Connect the charger to the charging station (Figure 3 / Item 3).
- 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 green LED (Figure 3 / Item 1) comes on to indicate that charging voltage is available.
- Place the tool in the charging station. The red LED (Figure 3 / Item 2) comes on to indicate that the battery is being charged. An empty battery pack requires a maximum charging period of 6 hours. The temperature of the battery pack may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal.
● The red LED (Figure 3 / Item 2) and the green LED (Figure 3 / Item 1) both come on to indicate

GB

that the battery pack is fully charged.

If the battery pack fails to charge, please check - whether there is voltage at the socket-outlet - whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the battery station

If you still fail to charge the battery pack, please return the complete tool together with the battery charger and the charging station to our Customer Service Center.

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.

7.2 Operation

First clear away any stones or other solid objects from where you want to cut. The safety lock-off (Figure 1 / Item 3) prevents the tool being switched on accidentally. To switch on the tool you must first release the safety lock-off with your thumb. Keep the safety lock-off pressed and at the same time actuate the On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 4) to start up the tool.

To switch off the tool, let go of the On/Off switch (Figure 1 / Item 4).

7.3 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.

7.4 Fitting the telescopic long handle

Using the plug-in telescopic handle (Figure 1 / Item 5) you can push the cordless grass cutter on wheels over the lawn from a comfortable standing position. Slide the one tube into the other and fasten together with the clamp coupling (Figure 1 / Item 6). Pull the plastic cover off the tool (Figure 4), press down the release lever (Figure 5 / Item 1) and plug in the long handle. The long handle will engage in place automatically when you let go of the release lever. To remove the long handle, press down the release lever (Figure 5 / Item 1), pull out the long handle and put on the plastic cover (Figure 4). The long handle can be stored at the loading station (Figure 1).

7.5 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.

The shrub cutter blade must be kept in its guard hood when not in use.

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.

8. Changing the blades

Important! risk of injury!

To dismantle the blades, undo the screws at the bottom of the tool (Figure 6 and Figure 10 / Item 1). When the blades have been removed you will be able to see the gear wheels (Figure 7). Make sure that no dirt gets in the gearing while you are changing the blades.

When inserting the hedge trimming blade, note the position of the eccentric pin (Figure 7 / Item 1). Take the hedge trimming blade and slide the eccentric mount (Figure 8 / Item 1) into position so that the eccentric pin fits exactly in the eccentric mount when assembled. To secure the hedge cutter blade for cutting, slide it underneath the holder (Figure 7 / Item 2) and fasten it in place with the screws (Figure 10 / Item 1).

When inserting the grass cutting blade, again note the position of the eccentric pin (Figure 7 / Item 1). With the grass cutting blade you can slide the eccentric mount (Figure 9 / Item 1) to the left or right in order to find the position where the eccentric pin (figure 7/item 1) fits in the eccentric mount (figure

9/item 1). Re-fasten the grass cutting blade with the screws.

9. Maintenance and cleaning

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. 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.

10. Troubleshooting

The tool does not cut cleanly: Check the blades and replace them if necessary.
