machine
- after contact with foreign objects
- if the machine begins to vibrate
strangely
• Always ensure that the ventilation open-
ings are kept free of foreign objects.
• Always maintain your balance to stand
securely on slopes. Walk, don't run.
• Warning! Do not touch moving danger-
ous parts before the machine has been
switched off and the moving dangerous
parts have come to a complete standstill.
• A tingling feeling or numbness in the
hands is sign of excessive vibration.
Limit the operating time, take sufficiently
long work breaks, distribute the work
between several people or wear anti-
vibration gloves when using the tool for
extended periods.

Before starting

Charging the battery
Safety Instructions:
The tool is delivered with the lithium-ion battery charged.
However, we recommend recharging the battery before
the tool is operated for the first time.
- Use the included charging unit for charging the battery
only. It is specially designed to match the tool's battery.
- Never use other charging unit. This will result in fire
and/or explosion hazard!
- Always keep the charging unit clear of rain or moisture.
Hazard of electric shock! - Never charge the battery
in the open without protection, always choose a dry,
protected place.
- Never try to charge third-party batteries with this charg-
ing unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion hazard!
- Check the housing, plug and cable for damage before
each use of the charging unit. Do not use the unit if
you detect damage.
- Do not open the charging unit by force. In case of a
defect, the charging unit must be replaced.
- The charging unit heats up during the charging pro-
cess. Do not place the unit on a flammable surface or
operate it in a flammable environment. Fire hazard!
- Never open the battery cells. Hazard of short circuits!
- In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours or
fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact flush
with water and seek medical advice immediately. The
fluid may have irritating or caustic effects on the skin.
- Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and
fire. Explosion hazard!
GB | Operating Instruction
Charging process:
To charge the battery connect the charging unit to an
electrical socket. Then connect the plug of the charg-
ing cable to the charging socket of the grass and shrub
shears or trimmer (fig. 2)
The start of the charging process is indicated by the red
control light (X) fig. 2 at the end of the handle. If the bat-
tery is completely empty the charging time is about 6 - 8
hours. After the charging process has been completed,
the electronic control automatically switches off the
charging process. The red control light then changes
its colour to green indicating the end of the charging
process. It is not required to monitor the charging time.
The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up dur-
ing the charging process. This is nothing unusual.
Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
The tool must never be switched on during the charging
process!
Recharge the battery every time you realise a consider-
able decrease of the tool's cutting performance. The
battery additionally features an electronic total discharge
protection that protects the battery from damage. This
feature switches the battery off if the discharging thresh-
old is reached. Do not switch the tool on afterwards and
make sure to recharge the battery first.
Switching the tool on/off
Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 3) forward and push
switch B. After the tool has been switched on, you do not
have to hold the switch-on lock A any longer.
To switch off just let go of the switch B.
Refitting the tool / Changing the shear
systems
Put the included blade guard into the blade(s) and use
protective gloves to protect yourself from injury.
Push both lateral push buttons concurrently and re-move
the shearing blades (Fig. 5).
Remove any dirt from the gear area (if necessary).
Please slightly grease the drive area using commer-
cial universal grease as described in the Maintenance
section before putting the replacement shears in place
(Fig.7).
Lead the cutting blades with the rear holding toe into
the housing of the grass shears as shown in fig. 6 and
lock the click system in place by strongly pushing on the
blade base plate.
The position of the eccentric drive does not have to be
considered when changing the blades. When the device
is switched on, the gear eccentric unit automatically
engages into the appropriate relief in the shearing blade.

Attention! The blades will coast for a certain
time after switch-off!
