The additional holder allows you to rotate the shears from -90 degrees to +90 degrees. This allows for edge trimming of the lawn.
To adjust the angle, pull the front part of the holder, then rotate and release so that the front and rear parts of the holder rejoin along
the entire circumference (VII). Check that the holder does not change the position inadvertently during operation.
The holder also allows for changing the length to adjust the tool to the height of the operator. Loosen the longer part of the length
adjustment (VIII). Extend the holder to the desired length and tighten the longer part of the length adjustment to prevent the pos-
sibility of changing the holder length.
Safety key
Due to the inability to remove the battery, and thus completely disconnect the tool from the power supply, the tool has been
equipped with a safety key. Pulling the key out of the socket prevents the tool from being turned on unintentionally. Starting the tool
will be possible only after inserting the key into the tool's socket (IX). The key is attached to the housing with a short cord, which
prevents the key from being lost when it is ejected from the socket.
The key should be ejected from the socket each time: - before leaving the tool unattended, - before assembling and disassembling
the working attachment, - before starting service or adjustment activities, - before removing the cause of blade jamming, - before
assembling and disassembling the additional holder.
If the key is not removed from the socket, there is a risk of inadvertent activation of the tool, which may result in serious injuries.
Charging the battery
Connect the charger cable plug to the charger socket located in the tool handle (IX), then connect the charger to the mains socket.
The status lamp above the socket will light up red to indicate that the battery charging process has started. When charging is
complete, the status lamp will turn green.
Immediately after charging is complete, disconnect the charger from the mains socket and then disconnect the charger from the
tool. Leaving the charged tool connected to the charger may cause damage to the battery and cause fi re or electric shock.
Do not operate the tool during charging.
Safety instructions for battery charging
Caution! Before starting charging, make sure that the power unit body, cable and plug are not cracked or damaged. It is forbidden
to use a defective or damaged charging station and power unit! Use only the supplied charging station and power unit to charge
the batteries. The use of another power unit may result in fi re or damage to the tool. The battery should only be charged in a
closed, dry room, protected against unauthorised access, especially by children. Do not use the charging station and power unit
without the constant supervision of an adult! If you need to leave the room where the tool is being charged, disconnect the charger
from the mains by removing the power unit plug from the mains socket. If smoke, suspicious odours, etc. are escaping from the
charger, remove the charger plug from the mains socket immediately!
The shears are supplied with an uncharged battery and should therefore be charged according to the procedure described below
with the included power unit and charging station before use. Li-ion (lithium-ion) batteries do not have the so-called "memory
eff ect", which allows them to be recharged at any time. However, it is recommended to discharge the battery during normal oper-
ation and then charge it to full capacity. If, due to the nature of work, it is not possible to use the battery in such a manner every
time, it should be done at least every several work cycles. Never discharge any batteries by short-circuiting the battery plates,
as this will cause irreparable damage! In addition, do not check the battery charge status by short-circuiting the electrodes and
checking their sparking.
Storing the battery
Ensure the proper storage conditions to extend the battery's life. The battery can withstand approximately 500 charge-discharge
cycles. Store the battery at a temperature ranging from 0ºC to 30ºC at a relative air humidity of 50%. Charge the battery to approx.
70% of its total capacity to store it for a longer period of time. In case of prolonged storage, the battery should be periodically
charged once a year. Do not over-discharge the battery as this will shorten its life and may cause irreparable damage.
During storage, the battery will gradually discharge due to leakage. The self-discharge process depends on the storage temper-
ature – the higher the temperature is, the faster the discharge process is. If the batteries are stored incorrectly, the electrolyte
may leak. In case of leakage, secure the leak with a neutralising agent. In the case of electrolyte contact with eyes, rinse eyes
thoroughly with water, and immediately seek medical attention. It is not allowed to use the tool with a damaged battery.
If the battery is completely worn, return it to a specialist waste disposal centre.
Transporting the batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are treated as hazardous goods according to legal regulations. The user of the tool can transport the product
together with the battery and the batteries alone by land. In that case, no additional conditions have to be met. If you entrust trans-
port to third parties (e.g. a courier company), follow the regulations regarding the transport of hazardous goods. Before shipping,
please contact a properly qualifi ed person.
It is not allowed to transport damaged batteries. For the duration of transport, remove the demountable batteries from the product
and secure the exposed contacts, e.g. by covering them with insulation tape. Protect the batteries in the packaging in such a way
that they do not move inside the packaging during transport. National regulations for the transport of hazardous materials must
also be observed.
