5.10 Charging the battery (Fig. 16)
1. Take the battery pack out of the equipment.
Do this by pressing the pushlock button (T).
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as
that marked on the rating plate of the battery
charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
(21) into the mains socket outlet. The green
LED will then begin to fl ash.
3. Insert the battery pack (1) into the battery
charger (21).
4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator" you
will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts.
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the power of the cordless equipment
drops. Never fully discharge the battery pack. This
will cause it to develop a defect.

ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.

7. Working with the hedge trimmer
mounting kit
•
Check that the cutters work properly. The
twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite direc-
tions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor-
mance and smooth operation.
•
Take care to maintain a steady foothold and
hold the equipment firmly in both hands away
from your body. Before you switch on, make
sure that the equipment is not touching any
objects.
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 Fig. 17).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Fig. 18).
•
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
Fig. 19/20).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 21).
