Ensure that the mount locks into the recesses
correctly. Then connect the power plug (Fig. 4b/Item
1) to the equipment as shown in Figure 4b. To
disassemble, proceed in reverse order.
Important!
It is prohibited to remove or bridge any of the
switching elements installed on the tool by the
manufacturer (e.g. by securing a button to the
handle) as this would prevent the tool from
switching off automatically and result in high risk
of injury.
Under no circumstances are you to use the shrub
cutter with the telescopic long handle fitted.
6. Operation
The area to be cut must first be cleared of stones
and other solid objects. The safety lock-off (Fig.
1/Item 3) prevents the tool being started
unintentionally. Activate the safety lock-off (Figure 1 /
Item 3) by pushing it forward and pressing the
ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 Item 4) at the same time.
To switch off the tool, let go of the ON/OFF switch
(Figure 1 / Item 4).

6.1 Cutting grass

Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground. The
best results are achieved when the lawn is dry.
When you notice a drop in cutting performance, re-
charge the tool immediately so that the battery does
not become fully discharged.
6.2 Trimming hedges
The tool can be used to trim small hedges and
shrubs.
Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge
you want to cut.
First cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut the
top.
Watch out for foreign objects in or on the hedge
which could damage the blades.
When is the best time to trim hedges?
As a general rule, hedges which lose their leaves
in the autumn should be trimmed in June and
October.
Hedges which do not lose their leaves should be
cut in April and August.

6.3. Changing the blades

Important. Risk of injury!
To remove the blades, raise the lug (Fig. 6/Item 1) and
push off the cover (Fig. 6/Item 2) in direction of the
arrow. Once you have removed the blade you will be
12
able to see the toothed wheels of the gear unit (Fig.
7). Make sure that no dirt gets into the gear unit when
you change the blade. To assemble, proceed in
reverse order.
When you fit the hedge cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric
connector (Fig. 7/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter blade
and slide the eccentric mount (Fig. 8/Item 1) into
position so that the pin for the eccentric connector
and the eccentric mount fit together precisely when
assembled. Slot the hedge cutter blade onto the
guide pins (Fig. 7/Item 2).
When you fit the grass cutter blade
check the position of the pin for the eccentric
connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) again. Shift the eccentric
mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) on the grass cutter blade to the
left or the right to find the position at which the pin for
the eccentric connector (Fig. 7/Item 1) and the
eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) match up.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
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
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
A few drops of oil (e.g. sewing machine oil) will
n
improve the cutting performance of the blades,
but never apply any grease to the blades. To
ensure constant exact cutting it is also important
to remove grass remnants and dirt from between
the upper and lower blade.
Important!
Never clean the tool under running water - and
particularly never with high pressure - because
of the potential danger to persons and property.
Keep your cordless grass cutter and hedge
trimmer in a dry and frost-proof place. Choose a
place that children are unable to enter.
