Adjusting the blades
Warning! Before proceeding with the following operations, always disconnect the tool from the power supply – remove the battery
from the tool socket.
Blades due to wear during operation may change the optimal distance from each other. They may not overlap or overlap too
deeply. If such work is observed, adjust the blades. To do so, loosen the adjusting gear positioning screw (V). Then unscrew the
nut fixing the gear (VI). Rotate the gear and reinstall the mounting nut, then tighten the adjusting gear positioning screw.
It is recommended not to rotate the gear by more than one tooth in relation to the positioning cam. After each rotation, tighten the
nut and screw, then check the adjustment results.
Lubricating the blade drive
Warning! Before proceeding with the following operations, always disconnect the tool from the power supply – remove the battery
from the tool socket.
If you observe louder operation or less smooth movement of the blade, check the blade drive mechanisms for dirt and lubrication.
To do this, loosen all screws fixing the drive cover (VII), and then remove the cover. Clean the drive mechanism and the inside of
the drive mechanism compartment from residues of old grease and dirt. Then apply grease to the gear and sprocket of the blade.
Reattach the cover.
For lubrication, use grease intended for gear mechanisms or universal grease.
Charging the battery (IX)
Caution! Before charging, disconnect the charging station power unit from the mains by removing the plug from the mains socket.
In addition, clean the battery and battery clamps of dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
The battery has a built-in charge indicator. The LEDs will light up by pressing the button. The more of them come on, the more
charged the battery is. If the LEDs do not light up when the button is pressed, the battery is discharged.
Disconnect the battery from the tool.
Slide the battery into the charger socket.
Plug the charger into a mains socket.
The red LED will light up, which indicates the charging process.
When charging is complete, the red LED will turn off and the green LED will light up to indicate that the battery is fully charged.
Pull the power unit plug out of the mains socket.
Pull the battery out of the charging station by pressing the battery latch button.
Caution! If the green LED lights up when the charger is connected to the mains, the battery is fully charged. In this case, the
charger will not start the charging process.
Safety instructions for battery charging
Caution! Before starting charging, make sure that the power unit body, cord 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 fire 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 pruning 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 "mem-
ory effect", which means they can be recharged at any time. However, it is recommended to discharge the battery during normal
operation 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 plates
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 tempera-
ture – 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 thor-
oughly 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.
