Frequently Asked Questions - FZN 4101-A Fieldmann

How do I charge the battery for the Fieldmann FZN 4101-A?

Remove the battery from the trimmer and connect the charger to a 230 V ~ 50 Hz power socket. Insert the charger connector into the battery. The red LED indicator will light up, indicating charging. Charging takes approximately 4 hours. When the LED turns green, the battery is fully charged. Do not charge at temperatures below +4.5°C or above +40°C.

How do I change the blades on the FZN 4101-A?

First, ensure the tool is off and the battery removed. Slide the clip (B) upwards, remove the cover (A) by pulling it backwards and upward. Remove the old blades and attach new ones. Replace the cover by aligning the marks and pushing it forward until it clicks. Do not press the start switch during blade change.

What is the difference between the FZN 4101-A and FZN 4102-AT models?

The FZN 4101-A is the base model without telescopic pole and wheel assembly. The FZN 4102-AT includes a telescopic pole for extended reach and wheel assembly for easier maneuvering. All other specifications are identical.

How do I adjust the swivel head?

Firmly hold the handle, move the locking button upward, then rotate the tool's head to the desired position (five positions: -90°, 0°, 90°, 180°). Release the locking button to secure the head. Ensure it locks properly before use.

Can I use the trimmer in the rain?

No. The manual explicitly warns not to work in the rain or unfavorable climatic conditions. The tool is not waterproof and exposure to moisture could cause electric shock or damage.

What safety features are included?

The trimmer has a safety switch (must be pressed together with the main switch), handle lock switch, automatic shut-off if blades jam, and a blade guard. Always wear protective gloves and footwear, and keep a minimum safe distance of 6 m from others.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends on load and usage. The 1300 mAh Li-ion battery typically provides enough power for light trimming tasks. Charging time is 4 hours. The battery should be recharged when the LED indicator turns red during operation.

How do I maintain the blades?

After each use, clean the blades with a soft cloth and apply light lubrication. If used continuously for long periods, lubricate during work. Store the tool with the blade cover on. Sharpening is not recommended; replace blades if dull.

What is the warranty period?

The manual does not specify a warranty period. Typically, Fieldmann offers a 2-year warranty for household use. Check with the vendor or Fieldmann customer service for details.

Can I use the trimmer for cutting branches?

The hedge trimmer blade (110 mm) is suitable for trimming small branches and shrubs. For larger branches, use a proper pruning saw. If blades jam, release the trigger immediately to avoid motor damage.
