is defective. Do not re-use or charge a defective
battery pack.
Recharge the battery pack promptly to ensure
that it provides long service. Always recharge the
battery pack when you notice that the power of
the cordless hedge trimmer starts to drop. Never
allow the battery pack to become fully dischar-
ged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation

Switching ON/OFF
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. The machine works only
when the switch on the steady grip (Fig. 1 / item
3) is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Fig. 1 / item 4) is pressed with the other
hand. If either switch is released, the cutters will
stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters as
they slow down to a standstill.

Notes for use
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Fig. 7).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Fig. 8).
•
To ensure that you cut the hedge to a level
height, we recommend tying a guide line of
string or similar along the hedge. Cut off all
branches that protrude beyond the guide line
(see Fig. 9).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 10).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Before putting the hedge trimmer away and
cleaning it, switch it 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 with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. 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.
7.2 Maintenance
•
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated
at regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits
with a brush and apply a thin film of oil (Fig.
11).
•
There are no other parts inside the equipment
that require maintenance.
