NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
BEFORE OPERATION
1. CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery charger supplied matches to the Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use other battery chargers.
The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a
protective circuit: the blade no longer move.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery
to cool down before recharging.
CHARGING PROCEDURE (SEE FIG. A1, A2)
Plug charger plug into a suitable power outlet and afterwards plug your tool into the battery charger, the charging indicator
(red) will illuminate at this time.
The charger indicator will turn into green when charging is complete, then unplug the charging plug from the wall socket and
then remove the tool from the battery charger.
Important:
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine warms up. This is normal.
When not using for extended periods, disconnect the battery charger from the socket.
Do not use the machine during the charging procedure.

2. WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Hold the machine away from yourself. Stand in a secure and stable position.
a. Shrub shear (See Fig. E1)
Cutting hedges
Before cutting check the hedge for foreign objects e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting, move steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed directly into the cut-
ter blades. The double edge of the cutting blade enables cutting to either direction, or with a side to side motion.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
Recommended cutting/trimming times:
– Cut hedges with deciduous leaves in June and October.
– Cut evergreen hedges in April and August.
– Cut conifer and other fast growing shrubs approx. every six weeks from May onwards.
b. Grass shear (See Fig. E2)
Guide the machine along the edge of the lawn. Do not allow the blade to contact paved surfaces, stones or garden walls, since
this will wear the blade rapidly.
After use replace the blade transport guard.
