6. Starting up
6.1 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 device in the charger. The red LED
(Fig. 3/Item 2) and the green LED (Fig. 3/Item 1)
both come on to indicate that the battery pack is
being charged. An empty battery pack requires a
maximum charging period of 9 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. 3/Item 2) extinguishes and the green
LED (Fig. 3/Pos. 1) remains on.
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 toolʼs
performance.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully
discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
6.2 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).

6.3 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, re-

charge the tool immediately so that the battery does
not become fully discharged.

6.4 Assembling the handle

Using the telescopic long handle (Fig. 1/Item 5) you
can push the cordless shears on wheels over the
lawn.
Undo the clamp coupling (Fig. 1/Item 6), adjust the
telescopic handle to the required length and then re-
tighten the clamp coupling again. Pull the plastic
cover off the device (Fig. 4), press down the release
lever (Fig. 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 adjust the angle of
the telescopic handle, undo the star screw (Fig.
5/Item 2). Tighten the star screw (Fig. 5/Item 2) after
you have adjusted the angle. To remove the long
handle, press down the release lever (Fig. 5/Item 1),
pull out the long handle and put on the plastic cover
(Fig. 4). The long handle can be stored together with
the device on the charger (Fig. 1).
6.5 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.
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.

7. Changing the blades

Important! Risk of injury!
To remove the blades, undo the screw on the
underside of the device (Fig. 6 and Fig. 10/Item 1).
