Attaching the grass collector (05)
For using the grass cutter on the edge of a gar-
den bed, the grass collector can be attached to
the grass blade. It straightens up the grass and
prevents the cut-off grass from falling into the
bed.
1. Put the grass collector (05/1) on the under-
side of the grass blade so that the two pins
(05/2) point towards the openings and the
screw lies in the slotted hole (05/3).
2. Push the grass collector (05/1) into the two
openings (05/a) with low pressure.

ing it for the first time. The rechargeable battery
can be charged in any charge state. Interrupting
charging does not damage the rechargeable bat-
tery.

Do not use the appliance during the charging
process.
1. Insert the mains plug (06/1) into the power
socket.
2. Insert the charge plug in the charging socket
of the rechargeable battery grass and shrub
cutter (06/3). The charging process begins
with the constant lighting of the green LED
display (06/2) on the mains plug. The LED in-

ance (06/4): The rechargeable battery is fully
charged when the LED on the appliance
(06/4) lights constantly.
