• Wear suitable working clothes, i.e. protective
glasses, protective means for ears, non-slippery
shoes and working gloves. Do not wear broad
clothes which could be caught by the moving
parts.
• After you finish using the clippers and before
cleaning them, it is necessary to ensure that the
machine cannot be accidentally turned on, such
as by unlocking the switch.
• Check the cutting unit regularly for damage
• Never hold the clippers by the blades, you may run
the risk of injury even when the clippers are not
moving!
• Never touch moving blades in an attempt to re-
move debris or if the blades are blocked. Always
switch off the device.
• Keep the machine away from children and store it
in a safe place.
• When working with the shears, always take a sta-
bile standing position, particularly when you are
using steps or a ladder.
• Do not use shears with a damaged or excessively
worn-out cutting part
• Ensure that all protective devices and handles
are installed on the machine. Never try to put an
incomplete machine in operation.
• Always use the protective part designed for the
blade when transporting and storing the shears.
• Before starting the work, make yourself famil-
iar with the surroundings and possible dangers
which you may not hear because of the noise.
• Only use the spare sparts and accessories recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
Before starting
Charging the battery
Safety Instructions:
The tool is delivered with the lithium-ion battery charged.
However, we recommend recharging the battery before
the tool is operated for the first time.
- Use the included charging unit for charging the battery
only. It is specially designed to match the tool's battery.
- Never use other charging unit. This will result in fire
and/or explosion hazard!
- Always keep the charging unit clear of rain or moisture.
Hazard of electric shock! - Never charge the battery
in the open without protection, always choose a dry,
protected place.
- Never try to charge third-party batteries with this charg-
ing unit. This will result in fire and/or explosion hazard!
- Check the housing, plug and cable for damage before
each use of the charging unit. Do not use the unit if
you detect damage.
- Do not open the charging unit by force. In case of a
defect, the charging unit must be replaced.
- The charging unit heats up during the charging proc-
ess. Do not place the unit on a flammable surface or
operate it in a flammable environment. Fire hazard!
GB | Operating Instruction
- Never open the battery cells. Hazard of short circuits!
- In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours
or fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact flush
with water and seek medical advice immediately. The
fluid may have irritating or caustic effects on the skin.
- Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and
fire. Explosion hazard!
Charging process:
To charge the battery connect the charging unit to an
electrical socket. Then connect the plug of the charg-
ing cable to the charging socket of the grass and shrub
shears or trimmer (fig. 2)
The start of the charging process is indicated by the
red control light ("X", Fig. 2) at the end of the handle.
If the battery is completely empty the charging time is
about 4 hours. After the charging process has been
completed, the electronic control automatically switches
off the charging process. The red control light changes
to green indicating the end of the charging process. It is
not required to monitor the charging time.
The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up dur-
ing the charging process. This is nothing unusual.
Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
The tool must never be switched on during the charging
process!
Recharge the battery every time you realise a consider-
able decrease of the tool's cutting performance. The
battery additionally features an electronic total discharge
protection that protects the battery from damage. This
feature switches the battery off if the discharging thresh-
old is reached. Do not switch the tool on afterwards and
make sure to recharge the battery first.
Assembly of the telescopic handle with chas-
sis
First, put the two halves of the telescopic handle to-
gether and firmly tighten the tapped sleeve turning it
clockwise. (fig. 4).
To attach the telescopic handle to the tool lead the two
toes of the chassis into the jogs provided on the housing
of the grass shears as far as they will go (fig. 3). This
will automatically establish the electrical contact to the
switch.
To remove the telescopic handle simply unlock the grass
shears' handle by gently pushing/pulling it forward out of
the wheel assembly.
Adjusting the length of the telescopic handle
The length of the telescopic handle can be adjusted with-
in a range of 12 cm to better match the operator's height.
To do so loosen the tapped sleeve (fig. 4) by turning it
one half turn clockwise, adjust the length of the handle,
and fasten the tapped sleeve again by turning it anti-
clockwise.
