Fitting the battery (Fig. 12)
Press the side pushlock button (26) of the battery pack
and push the battery pack into the mount provided.

Charging the battery (Fig. 13)
By pressing the red button on the battery, status can
be read based on the green lights.
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
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 (16) into the
mains socket outlet. The light on the power cord
turns green.
3. Insert the battery into the charger. Green flashing
of light on the charger indicates that the battery is in
charging mode.
4. Depending on the battery charge status lights either
1, 2 or 3 green lights on the battery.
1 green light: battery 1/3 charged
2 green light: Battery 2/3 charged
3 green LED: Battery is fully charged
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 con-
tacts.
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service,
you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must
recharge the battery pack when you notice that the
power of the cordless equipment drops. Never fully
discharge the battery pack. This will cause it to de-
velop a defect.

8. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations governing
noise abatement may differ from one location to an-
other.
Caution! Always use the shoulder strap when working
with the equipment. Always switch off the equipment
before you take off the shoulder strap. Otherwise there
is a risk of injury.
Put on the shoulder strap as described above, fi t the
required mounting kit and adjust the equipment to suit
your needs. Ensure that the electrical tool is properly
in the prescribed working position before starting the
motor.
m ATTENTION!
Do not use the electrical tool's attachments with
a faulty or heavily worn cutting unit.
Switching on/off
Switching on
• Hold the equipment by the handles with both hands
• Push Safety lock-off (Fig. 14 / Item 4).
• Switch on the equipment with the On/Off switch
(Fig. 14/Item 3).
• You can then release the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 3/Item 3).
ATTENTION!
If the cutting unit touches a foreign object, the operat-
ing noises get louder or the electrical device vibrates
unusually excessively, stop the motor and allow the
electrical device to come to a standstill. Remove the
rechargeable battery and take the following meas-
ures:
• Check for damage
• Check for loose parts and secure all loose parts
• Replace damaged parts with similar parts or have
them repaired.
Working with the hedge trimmer mount-
ing kit
• Check that the cutters work properly. The twin-
bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus
guaranteeing high cutting performance and smooth
operation.
• Take care to maintain a steady foothold and hold
the equipment firmly in both hands away from your
body. Before you switch on, make sure that the
equipment is not touching any objects.
Adjust inclination of the motor housing (Fig. 15)
• Press the two locking knobs (27) and adjust the in-
cline of the motor housing in a latching steps.
Work practice
• 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.
• The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite direc-
tions, thus enabling cutting in both directions.
• It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the
like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to
a level height. Cut off all branches which protrude
beyond the guide line.
• Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up.
