Swivel handle
The hedge trimmer is fi tted with a rear swiveling
handle. It can be swiveled 90° to the left and right.
To do so, pull the slide (Fig. 13/Item 10) in the di-
rection indicated by the arrow and turn the handle.
To return the handle to its original position you
must pull the slide (Fig. 13/Item 13) in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow again. The handle
should be turned through 90° for vertical cuts.
Fitting the cuttings collector (Fig. 5a-5d)
For horizontal cutting we recommend that you
install the cuttings collector. This enables you
to remove the cuttings easily. The surface of the
hedge thus remains clear (Fig. 5a/5b). Position
the cuttings collector (14) on the cutter rail (Fig.
5c). Then push the cuttings collector as far as
possible towards the tip of the cutter rail and
secure it with the fastening screws (15) (Fig. 5d).
The cuttings collector can be fi tted on either the
right or left side.
Installing the battery (Fig. 4e)
Press the pushlock button (Fig. 4e/Item C) of the
rechargeable battery and push the rechargeable
battery into the mount provided. Make sure that
the pushlock button engages properly! To remove
the battery, proceed in reverse order!
Charging the battery (Fig. 6)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the pushlock button.
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
into the mains socket outlet. The green LED
will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack into the battery char-
ger.
4. In section "Charger indicator" you will find a
table with an explanation of the LED indicator
on the charger.
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
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.
Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 6a)
Press the button for the battery capacity indicator
(Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Item B)
shows the charge status of the battery using 3
LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the
battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-
perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-
ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone
exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove
the battery from the equipment. Never use or
charge a defective battery.
6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-han-
ded safety switch. The machine works only when
the switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3)
is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Figure 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.
