5.6. Installing the battery (Fig. 10/11)
Press the side pushlock buttons of the battery
pack as shown in Fig. 10 and push the battery
pack into the mount provided. When the battery
pack is positioned as in Fig. 11, make sure that
the pushlock buttons latch in place! To remove the
battery pack, proceed in reverse order.
5.7 Charging the battery (Fig. 12)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the side pushlock buttons.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(1) into the mains socket outlet. The green
LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Insert the battery pack (a) into the battery
charger (1).
4. In section „Charger indicator" you will fi nd a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator
on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal. If the battery pack
fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, take
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to your Hornbach store.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless grass trim-
mer drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack.
This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation

To obtain maximum performance from your grass
trimmer, please follow these instructions:
•
Never use the grass trimmer without the
guard.
•
Do not mow grass when it is wet. The best
results are achieved with dry grass.
•
To switch on your grass trimmer press the
safety lock-off (Fig. 2 / Item 1) and then press
the On/Off switch (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
To switch off your grass trimmer, let go of the
Anl_PE_ART_18_Li_SPK7.indb 91 Anl_PE_ART_18_Li_SPK7.indb 91
GB
On/Off switch again (Fig. 2 / Item 2).
•
Do not allow the grass trimmer near the grass
until the switch is pressed, i.e. the grass trim-
mer is in operation.
•
To cut properly, swing the machine sideways
while moving forwards. Keep the grass trim-
mer inclined at an angle of approx. 30° while
you do so (see Figs. 17 and 18).
•
If the grass is long, the grass must be cut
shorter in stages, starting from the tip (see
Fig. 19).
•
Use the guard hood to prevent unnecessary
wear.
•
To avoid unnecessary wear, keep the grass
trimmer away from hard objects.
Using the grass trimmer as an edge trimmer
To cut the edges of lawns and fl ower beds, the
grass trimmer can be converted as follows:
•
Remove the battery pack
•
Pull the lock for the rotatable motor head in
the direction of the arrow as shown in Fig. 13.
•
Turn the motor head through 90° in the requi-
red direction until it latches in place.
•
Now you have converted the grass trimmer to
an edge trimmer for cutting the lawn vertically.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Before putting away or cleaning the grass trim-
mer, switch off and remove the battery pack.
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 down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the equipment
immediately after you use it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be ag-
gressive to the plastic parts in the equipment.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior
of the equipment. The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
