kit clockwise. The hedge trimmer mounting kit will lock
onto the motor head and is then secured in place. This
will cause the lock button (R) to be pushed to the left.
5.8 Removing the hedge trimmer mounting kit
from the motor head (Fig. 12 – 13)
The guard must be slipped over the hedge cutter blade in
order to prevent injuries.
1 Pull the lock button (R) to the right.
2 Turn the hedge trimmer mounting kit to the point
where the arrows on the motor head and hedge
trimmer mounting kit coincide, allowing the mounting
kit to be removed.
5.9 Fitting the battery (Fig. 14 - 15)
Press the side pushlock button (T) of the battery pack as
shown in Fig. 14 and push the battery pack into the
mount provided. When the battery pack is positioned as
in Fig. 15, make sure that the pushlock button latches in
place! To remove the battery pack, proceed in reverse
order.
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
flash.
3. Insert the battery pack (1) into the battery charger
(21).
4. In the section entitled "Charger indicator" you will find
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 centre.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, 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.
6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations governing noise
abatement may differ from one location to another.
Caution! Always use the shoulder strap when working with
the equipment. Always switch off the equipment before
you take off the shoulder strap. Otherwise there is a risk of
injury.
Put on the shoulder strap as described above, fit the
required mounting kit and adjust the equipment to suit
your needs.
Switching on/off
Switching on
•
Hold the equipment by the handles with both hands
(thumbs under the additional handle).
•
Slide the safety lock-off (Fig. 3/Item 4) to the front and
hold.
•
Switch on the equipment with the on/off switch (Fig.
3/Item 3). You can then release the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the on/off switch (Fig. 3/Item 3).
7. Working with the hedge trimmer
mounting kit
•
Check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed
cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus guaranteeing
high cutting performance 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 directions (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).
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of
spare parts
Danger!
Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning and
maintenance work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it
out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do
not use tools for cleaning.
•
Keep the handles free of grease so that you can
maintain a firm grip.
•
Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth
and, if necessary, mild washing up liquid.
•
Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids
in order to clean it.
•
Use a brush to remove deposits from the safety
guards.
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device immediately
each time you have finished using it.
