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!
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. 3)
The start of the charging process is indicated by the
red control light ("X", Fig. 4). If the battery is completely
empty the charging time is about 6 hours. After the
battery has been fully charged, 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.
GB | Operating Instruction
Switching the tool on/off
Press the safety lock (6) and activate switch (7). After
the tool has been switched on, you do not have to hold
the switch-on lock (6) any longer.
During operation the red indicator light will be illumi-
nated..
To switch off just let go of the switch (7).
Rotary handle
For ergonomic use the handle of the shears can be
rotated 90° to the left or right.
After activating the locking mechanism (8) the handle
can be adjusted 90°. Ensure that the locking mechanism
is re-engaged before placing the shears in service again.
Converting the device/changing the shear
system
To protect against injuries, slide the provided blade
guard over the blade and wear protective gloves.
Press the closure tab and slide the gearbox cover to the
rear in the direction of the arrow. Take off the gearbox
cover. The cutting blade can now be taken out. (Fig. 7)
Remove any fouling that may have gotten into the gear-
box compartment.
Keep the blade clean, remove sap and fouling. The
blade should be taken off at least once during the sea-
son. When the blade is taken off remove plant remains
and foreign objects.
Carefully lubricate the pinion A and the back of the blade
with thin grease (Fig. 9 and 10). Do not lubricate the mo-
tor and other parts.
Use the provided tool to adjust the gearbox position.
The (red) marks on the housing and the gear wheel line
up. (Fig. 8)
The two (red) marks on the blade must be in line. (Fig. 9)
Place the blade in the gearbox housing. Ensure that the
blade is in the position shown. (Fig. 10)
Note: Ensure that the blade rests on the two plastic hold-
ers (3) and ensure that the blade is properly seated on
the four fixation elements (4). (Fig. 11)
Insert the gearbox cover into the guides (1) and slide it
forward until the closure tab engages (2) (Fig. 11).
The device is now ready for operation again.
GB-7
Caution! The cutting tool continues to run
after the device is switched off.
(Fig. 6)
When performing the following tasks to
change the shear system, do not, under any
circumstances, switch on the device! Danger
of injury!
Do not hold the blade on the cutting edges
when changing! If the on/off switch is activated
unintentionally, severe injuries can occur.
