To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

7. Using for work
•
Before you start work, inspect the cordless
pole hedge trimmer for damage. Never use
equipment which is obviously damaged.
•
Check that the cutters work properly. The
twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite direc-
tions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor-
mance 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. 15).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Fig. 16).
•
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. 17/18).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 19).
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Remove the battery pack before doing any
cleaning and maintenance work.
8.1 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 li-
quid.
