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 di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
6. Operation
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 tele-
scopic long handle fi tted.
The area to be cut must fi rst be cleared of stones
and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig. 1/
Item 3) prevents the tool being started unintentio-
nally. 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
Important. Risk of injury!
To remove the blades, raise the lug (Fig. 4/Item 1)
and push off the cover (Fig. 4/Item 2) in direction
of the arrow. Once you have removed the blade
you will be able to see the toothed wheels of the
gear unit (Fig. 5). Make sure that no dirt gets into
the gear unit when you change the blade. To as-
semble, proceed in reverse order.
When you fi t the hedge cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric con-
nector (Fig. 5/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter blade
and slide the eccentric mount (Fig. 6/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. 5/Item 2).
When you fi t the grass cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric
connector (Fig. 5/Item 1) again. Shift the eccentric
mount (Fig. 7/Item 1) on the grass cutter blade to
the left or the right to fi nd the position at which the
pin for the eccentric connector (Fig. 5/Item 1) and
the eccentric mount (Fig. 7/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 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.
