Adjusting the length of the telescopic handle
The length of the telescopic handle can be adjusted
within a range of 12 cm to better match the operator's
height.
To do so loosen the tapped sleeve (fig. 4) by turning it
one half turn clockwise, adjust the length of the handle,
and fasten the tapped sleeve again by turning it anti-
clockwise.
Switching the tool on/off
Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 5) 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.
To switch the tool on/off with the telescopic handle
mounted only the switch integrated in the handle is used.
Attention! The blades will coast for a certain
time after switch-off!
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 remove
the shearing blades (Fig. 7).
Remove any dirt from the gear area (if necessary).
Please slightly grease the drive area using commerci-
al universal grease as described in the Maintenance
section before putting the replacement shears in place
(Fig. 9).
Lead the cutting blades with the rear holding toe into
the housing of the grass shears as shown in fig. 8 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.
The device is now ready for operation.
Hints for your work with the tool
The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and light
undergrowth or bushes. The device is also well-suited for
ornamental cuts as, for example, for the care of graves.
The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or
hardly accessible lawn areas.
For convenient working in an upright position, the
included telescopic handle may be assembled to the tool.
As the device is operated with one hand
please be careful not to move the other hand
near the running cutting tools.
GB | Operating Instruction
Maintenance
Clean the blade from any crushed plants and dirt. The
blades should be detached at least once a season for
the removal of debris. Lubricate the C pinion and the
D back of the blade with a light oil. Do not lubricate the
motor and other parts. Should the blade become dull
after a long period of use, a spare part can be ordered.
Warning! The leading edges of the blades must be oiled
to ensure proper lubrication. If the leading edges are not
oiled, blade durability may be adversely affected.
If the cutting tools have become dull after long use
please replace them with original spare parts.
Clean the device using only a brush or cloth. Do never
wash down the device with water and do never dip the
device into water.
Apply protective spray to the blades after each use.
Replace blunt blades.
Always put on the blade guard after use.
Examine the tool for obvious defects and have it repaired
in an authorised service shop if required.
Storage
Always store the tool in a dry, clean place outside the
reach of children. Make sure that the place of storage
is frost-free.

the device together with your domestic refuse, but dispo-
se of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
Please dispose of the device itself at an according
collecting/recycling point. By doing so, plastic and me-
tal parts can be separated and recycled. Information
