Switching off the device is done by releasing the pressure onto the switch.
After blades stop, the device should be disconnected from power supply and subject to maintenance.
Working with trimmer
Do not let the device operate with low rotational speed or during the start.
The work is most eff ective, when cutting is done by making full and wide movements. For higher effi ciency you may tilt the blades
at 5 - 10 angle in direction of cutting (IX).
O
To have even height of the hedge you may use a string stretched along the line of cutting. Cut the part of hedge above the string.
Vertical cutting of hedge is possible. It is recommended to cut moving the trimmer from the bottom to the top, and then from the
top to the bottom to utilize two sides of blades (X).
Useful tips when working
Take care of your balance and proper posture during work. Pay special attention during work on slippery, sloped or uneven
ground.
Observe blades continuously during work. Cutting in places out of sight should not be carried out.
Before the work thoroughly inspect the work place and remove any loose branches and residues after previous cutting. Be par-
ticularly careful when processing high hedges. Before the work inspect also other side of the hedge.
The cover of trimmer's gear becomes hot during work. To prevent scald, avoid any contact with gear's cover.
During work make regular brakes. While operating, the device emits noise and vibrations, that aff ect the operator of the equip-
ment. Making regular brakes and use of personal safety equipment such as gloves, ear and eye protectors allow reducing any
eff ect of device operation on operator's physical condition.
Start the work when you are in good health conditions and fi t. In case of occurrence of sickness, headache, vision disorder (e.g.
reduced fi eld of view), hearing disorder, dizziness, immediately stop the work with the device.
In case of trimmer jamming in the course of work, switch it off immediately using a switch and disconnect the battery, wait until
trimmer components cool down completely, and then start removing the cause of jamming.
If in the course of jamming any element of blades or cover is damaged or deformed, replace it or repair it, before continuing the
work.
Safety recommendations for battery loading
Attention! Before loading may start make sure the body of the charger, the cable and the plug are not broken or damaged. It
is prohibited to use a damaged loading dock and charger! For the purpose of loading batteries only the charging dock and the
charger provided may be used. Using another charger may be a cause of fi re or damage the tool. Batteries may be charged only
in a dry room, protected from unauthorised persons, particularly children. Do not use the charging dock and the charger without
permanent supervision of an adult! If it is necessary to leave the room where loading is taking place, it is required to disconnect the
charger from the mains, removing the charger from the mains socket. In case when smoke comes out of the charger, or a strange
smell is emitted, etc., it is required to immediately remove the plug of the charger from the mains socket!
The drill and automatic return screwdriver is provided with an unloaded battery, so before work may commence, it is required
to charge it following the procedure below, using the charger and charging dock provided. Li-ION batteries do not show the so
called "memory eff ect", so it is allowed to charge them at any moment. However, it is recommended to discharge them during
normal work, and then load them to their full capacity. If due to the nature of the task it is not possible to do so each time, then it
is required to do it at least from time to time. Under no circumstances is it allowed to discharge the batteries short-circuiting the
electrodes, since this would cause irreversible damage! It is also prohibited to check the load of the batteries, short-circuiting the
electrodes for sparking.
Storage of the battery
In order to prolong the life of the battery, it is required to provide adequate storage conditions. The batteries can go through ap-
proximately 500 „loading - discharging" cycles. The battery must be stored between 0 and 30°C, at the relative humidity of 50%. In
order to store the battery for a prolonged period, it is required to charge it to approximately 70% of its capacity. In case of prolonged
storage, it is required to recharge the battery once a year. Do not permit excessive discharging of the battery, since this would
reduce its life and may cause irreversible damage.
During storage, the battery will be gradually unloading due to leakage conductance. The process of automatic unloading depends
on the temperature of storage, since the higher the temperature, the fastest the process. In case of incorrect storage of batteries,
there is a danger of electrolyte leakage. In case of leakage, it is required protect the leakage with neutralizing agent. In case of
contact of electrolyte with the eyes, it is required to rinse the eyes abundantly, and then immediately seek medical assistance. It
is prohibited to use a tool with a damaged battery.
In case the battery is completely worn out, it is required to deposit it at a special point dedicated to disposal of such waste.
Transport of the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are in accordance with legal regulations treated as dangerous waste. The user of the tool may transport the
tool with the battery or only batteries by land. Then no additional conditions must be complied with. In transport is realised by third
