• Only use the trimmer in daylight or sufficiently
bright artificial illumination.
• The clippers must be subjected to regular
maintenance and checks. Damaged blades must
be replaced as a pair. Professional repair is
required if damage occurs due to impact.
• The trimmer should be regularly maintained by an
accordingly authorised service point.
• Wear suitable working clothes, i.e. protective
glasses, protective means for ears, non-slippery
shoes and working gloves. Do not wear broad
clothes which could be caught by the moving
parts.
• After you finish using the clippers and before
cleaning them, it is necessary to ensure that the
machine cannot be accidentally turned on, such
as by unlocking the switch.
• Check the cutting unit regularly for damage
• Never hold the clippers by the blades, you may run
the risk of injury even when the clippers are not
moving!
• Never touch moving blades in an attempt to
remove debris or if the blades are blocked. Always
switch off the device.
• Keep the machine away from children and store it
in a safe place.
• When working with the shears, always take a
stabile standing position, particularly when you
are using steps or a ladder.
• Do not use shears with a damaged or excessively
worn-out cutting part
• Ensure that all protective devices and handles
are installed on the machine. Never try to put an
incomplete machine in operation.
• Always use the protective part designed for the
blade when transporting and storing the shears.
• Before starting the work, make yourself familiar
with the surroundings and possible dangers
which you may not hear because of the noise.
• Only use the spare sparts and accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
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
charging unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion
hazard!
GB | Operating Instruction
- 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
process. 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 charging
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
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
during 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
considerable 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 threshold is reached. Do not switch the tool
on afterwards and make sure to recharge the battery
first.
Assembly of the telescopic handle with
chassis
To attach the telescopic handle to the tool lead the two
toes of the chassis into the jogs provided on the housing
of the grass shears as far as they will go (fig. 3). Then
push the rear end of the grass shears' handle down
onto the chassis until it locks in place with a clearly
audible 'click' sound. This will automatically establish the
electrical contact to the switch.
To remove the telescopic handle simply unlock the
grass shears' handle by gently pulling it upwards out
of the chassis and pulling the chassis out of the grass
shears' housing.
