GB | Operating Instruction
- The charging unit heats up during the charging
process. Do not place the unit on a flammable surface
or operate it in a flammable environment. Fire hazard!
- Never open the battery cells. Hazard of short circuits!
- In case of damage to the battery, hazardous vapours or
fluids may escape. In case of incidental contact flush
with water and seek medical advice immediately. The
fluid may have irritating or caustic effects on the skin.
- Protect the battery from heat, intense insolation and
fire. Explosion hazard!
Charging process:
To charge the battery connect the charging unit to an
electrical socket. Then connect the plug of the charging
cable to the charging socket of the grass and shrub
shears or trimmer (fig. 2)
The start of the charging process is indicated by the
green control light (X) fig. 2 at the end of the handle. If the
battery is completely empty the charging time is about 4
hours. After the charging process has been completed,
the electronic control automatically switches off the
charging process. The green control light extinguishes
thereby indicating the end of the charging process. It is
not required to monitor the charging time.
The charging unit and the handle of the tool heat up
during the charging process. This is nothing unusual.
Pull the plug of the charging unit if it is not in use.
The tool must never be switched on during the charging
process!
Recharge the battery every time you realise a
considerable decrease of the tool's cutting performance.
The battery additionally features an electronic total
discharge protection that protects the battery from
damage. This feature switches the battery off if the
discharging threshold is reached. Do not switch the tool
on afterwards and make sure to recharge the battery
first.
Switching the tool on/off
Slide the switch-on lock A (fig. 3) forward and push
switch B. After the tool has been switched on, you do not
have to hold the switch-on lock A any longer.
To switch off just let go of the switch B.
Attention! The blades will coast for a certain time
after switch-off!
Refitting the tool / Changing the shear
systems
Put the included blade guard into the blade(s) and use
protective gloves to protect yourself from injury.
Push both lateral push buttons concurrently and remove
the shearing blades (Fig. 5).
Remove any dirt from the gear area (if necessary).
3
Please slightly grease the drive area using commerci-
al universal grease as described in the Maintenance
section before putting the replacement shears in place
(Fig. 7).
Lead the cutting blades with the rear holding toe into
the housing of the grass shears as shown in fig. 6 and
lock the click system in place by strongly pushing on the
blade base plate.
The position of the eccentric drive does not have to be
considered when changing the blades. When the device
is switched on, the gear eccentric unit automatically en-
gages into the appropriate relief in the shearing blade.
The device is now ready for operation.
Hints for your work with the tool
The shrub trimmer cuts ornamental shrubs and light
undergrowth or bushes. The device is also well-suited
for ornamental cuts as, for example, for the care of
graves. As the device is operated with one hand please
be careful not to move the other hand near the running
cutting tools.
The grass shears allow for clean cuts of lawn edges or
hardly accessible lawn areas.
For convenient working in an upright position, the
included telescopic handle may be assembled to the
tool.
Maintenance
(Fig. 7)
Clean the blade from any crushed plants and dirt. The
blades should be detached at least once a season for
the removal of debris. Lubricate the C pinion and the D
back of the blade with a light oil. Do not lubricate the mo-
tor and other parts. Should the blade become dull after a
long period of use, a spare part can be ordered.
Warning! The leading edges of the blades must be oiled
to ensure proper lubrication. If the leading edges are not
oiled, blade durability may be adversely affected.
If the cutting tools have become dull after long use
please replace them with original spare parts.
Clean the device using only a brush or cloth. Do never
wash down the device with water and do never dip the
device into water.
Apply protective spray to the blades after each use.
Replace blunt blades.
Always put on the blade guard after use.
Examine the tool for obvious defects and have it repaired
in an authorised service shop if required.
Storage
Always store the tool in a dry, clean place outside the
reach of children. Make sure that the place of storage
is frost-free.
