3. Proper use

The equipment is designed for cutting the edges of lawns and small areas of grass in private and hobby gardens.

Tools for private and hobby gardens are not suitable for use in public facilities, parks and sport centers, along roadways, on farms or in the forestry sector. For the tool to be used properly it is imperative to follow the instructions set out in the manufacturer's directions for use.

GB

Warning! It is prohibited to use the tool to chop material for composting because of the potential danger to persons and property.

The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.

Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

• The vibration emission level has been measured in accordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another.
• The specified emission level can also be used to make an initial assessment of the exposure to vibrations.
• The vibration emission level may vary from the level specified during actual use, depending on the way in which the power tool is used.
• Try to keep the impact from vibrations as low as possible. Exposure to vibrations can be reduced by wearing gloves when using the tool, for example, and by limiting the amount of operating time. This includes the full cycle of operation (e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times when the tool is switched on but no working load is applied).

5. Before starting the equipment

5.1 Charging the battery pack (Figure 3, 4)

• Connect the charger to the charging station (Figure 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 red LED (Figure 4 / Item 1) comes on to indicate that charging voltage is available.
• The battery pack is being charged. An empty battery pack requires a maximum charging period of 2 hours. The temperature of the battery pack may rise slightly during the charging operation. This is normal.
• As soon as battery pack is fully charged, the red LED (Fig. 4/Item 1) extinguishes

If the rechargeable battery fails to charge, check whether there is voltage at the socket outlet.

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.

GB

Warning!

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.

6. Operation

The area to be cut must first be cleared of stones and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig. 1/Item 3) prevents the tool being started unintentionally. Activate the safety lock-off (Figure 1 / Item 3) by pushing it forward and pressing the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 4) at the same time. To switch off the tool, let go of the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 / Item 4).

6.1 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, re-charge the tool immediately so that the battery does not become fully discharged.

6.2 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.

6.3 Changing the blades

Warning! Risk of injury!

To remove the blade, press the release mechanism (Fig. 1/Item 12) and take out the blade as shown in Fig. 6/Item 12.

Once you have removed the blade you will be able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit (Fig. 7). Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear unit when you change the blade.

To assemble, proceed in the reverse order.

Caution! The blade will fall out when the release mechanism is pressed (Fig. 1/Item 12)!

When you fit the hedge cutter blade

check the position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter blade and slide the eccentric mount (Fig. 8/Item 1) into position so that the pin for the eccentric connector and the eccentric mount fi t together precisely when assembled. Slot the hedge cutter blade onto the guide pins (Fig. 7/Item 2).

When you fit the grass cutter blade

check the position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) again. Shift the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) on the grass cutter blade to the left or the right to find the position at which the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) and the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) match up.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

7.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. 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 attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
• 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.

GB

- To ensure constant exact cutting it is also important to remove grass remnants and dirt from between the upper and lower blade.

Caution!

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.

7.2 Maintenance

• 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.
• There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

7.3 Ordering replacement parts:

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
• Article number of the machine
