Fitting the cuttings collector (Figure 7-9).
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. 7/8). Position the
cuttings collector (6) on the cutter rail (Fig. 9).
Then push the cuttings collector towards the tip
of the bar to clamp it securely under the retaining
pins (Fig. 9/Item 9).
Installing the battery (Fig. 6)
Press the side pushlock button of the battery
pack as shown in Fig. 6 and push the battery
pack into the mount provided. Make sure that the
lever engages properly. To remove the battery
pack, proceed in reverse order.
6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. It works only when the
switch on the steady grip (Fig. 1/Item 3) is
pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Fig. 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.
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 (see Figure 11).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both
directions (see Figure 12).
•
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 (see
Figure 13).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
14).

Press the battery capacity indicator switch (12).
The battery capacity indicator (11) shows the
charge status of the battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs lit:
The battery is fully charged.
2 or 1 LED(s) lit:
The battery has an adequate remaining charge.
1 LED fl ashing:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs fl ashing:
The temperature of the battery is too low. Remove
the battery from the device and leave it at room
temperature for a day. If the error occurs again,
this means that the battery has been completely
depth-discharged and is defective. Remove the
battery from the device. Never use or charge a
defective battery.
7. Cleaning and maintenance
HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the
safety guard.
