The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without
reducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)" protects the lithium-
ion battery against deep discharging. When the battery is
discharged, the machine is switched off by means of a pro-
tective circuit: The garden product no longer operates.
Note: The micro-USB port (11) for connection of the micro-
USB cable (9) is in the handle.
When the charger level indicator (1) lights up red, the bat-
tery must be charged. Switch the machine off and charge the
battery.
Connect the machine to the charger (10) using the micro-
USB cable (9). Plug the charger (10) into the socket. The
charging process begins.
During the charging procedure, the handle of the machine
warms up. This is normal.
The charger level indicator (1) continuously lights up red
during the charging procedure. When the battery is com-
pletely charged, the charger level indicator (1) goes out.
Disconnect the battery charger from the mains supply when
charging process ends.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Mounting/Removing the Blade (see figures C)
Press the release button (12) and slide the cover (5) toward
the rear. Remove the cover (5) from the housing.
Tilt the blade (6)/(7) upward and then remove the blade

Cutting Shrubs (only Shrub Shear)
Make sure that the product is switched off when removing
u
cut-off material or during maintenance. Unintentional
switching on may cause serious injury.
Before cutting check the hedge/shrub for foreign objects
e. g. wire fences.
Cut stems up to 8 mm in thickness. When cutting, move the
product steadily along the line of cut, so that stems are fed
directly into the cutter blades. The double edge of the cut-
ting blade enables cutting to either direction, or with a side
to side motion.
After use, mount the blade guard.
Recommended 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.
Cutting Edges (only Grass Shear)
Guide the product along the edge of the lawn. Prevent the
blade from coming into contact with paved paths, stones or
garden walls because this significantly reduces the lifetime
of the blade.
After use, mount the blade guard.
Corrective Measure
Contact Service Agent.
Ambient temperature too high Do not expose the
product to direct sunlight. Wait 10–15 minutes to
let battery cool down.
