The machine is supplied without batteries
and without a charger!
5.1 Fitting the long handle and the steady
grip
1. (Fig. 3a) Plug the bottom long handle (Item 7)
into the long handle mount (Item 10a). Make
sure that the guide (Item 7a) is inside the gui-
de groove (Item 10b).
2. (Fig. 3b) Insert the bottom long handle in the
long handle mount until the limiting screw
(Item 7b) makes contact.
3. (Fig. 3c) Use the union nut (Item 8) to screw
the bottom long handle to the long handle
mount. The union nut must be screwed on
fully as far as the stop in order to ensure elec-
trical contact between the long handle and
the motor housing.
4. (Fig. 4) Push the top long handle (Item 5) over
the bottom long handle (Item 7). Take care not
to damage the cable inside.
5. (Fig. 5a, 5b) Push the steady grip (Item 4)
onto the top long handle (Item 5).
6. (Fig. 6a, 6b) Insert the lock bolt M6 (Item 15)
into the square mount of the top long handle
(Item 5). Take the washer (Item 16) and the
wing nut (Item 6) and screw the two long
handles together. The washer must be bet-
ween the long handle and the wing nut.
7. (Fig. 7a, 7b) Turn the steady grip (Item 4) so
that it is aligned with the handle (Item 1) (see
Fig. 1). Insert the hexagon screw (Item 17)
into the hexagon mount of the steady grip.
Use the wing nut (Item 6) to screw the steady
grip tight.
5.2 Adjusting the steady grip
For you to be able to work with the machine, the
steady grip must be aligned with the handle (see

5.4 Charging a battery (Fig. 9)
1. Take the battery pack out of the machine. Do
this by pressing the pushlock button.
