(Original instructions)

u To charge the battery (7), insert it into the charger (8).

The battery will only t into the charger in one way. Do

not force. Be sure that the battery is fully seated in the

charger.

u Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.

The charging indicator (9) will ash green continuously

(slowly).

The charge is complete when the charging indicator (9) lights

green continuously. The charger and the battery can be left

connected indenitely with the LED illuminated. The LED will

change to ashing green (charging) state as the charger occa-

sionally tops off the battery charge. The charging indicator (9)

will be lit as long as the battery is connected to the plugged-in

charger.

u Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will

be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.

Leaving the battery in the charger

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the

LED glowing indenitely. The charger will keep the battery

pack fresh and fully charged.

Charger diagnostics

If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the

charging indicator (9) will ash red at a fast rate. Proceed as

follows:

u Re-insert the battery (7).

u If the charging indicators continues ashing red at a fast

rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging

process works properly.

u If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original

battery is defective and should be returned to a service

centre for recycling.

u If the new battery gives the same indication as the original

battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised

services centre.

Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that

the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too

cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one

ash at each speed and repeat.

Switching on and off

Note: For your safety, this tool is equipped with a double

switching system. This system prevents starting the tool

inadvertently and will only allow operation while holding the

tool with both hands.

Switching on (g. C)

u Take hold of the front handle (3) with one hand so that the

front handle bail arm (2) is pushed into the body of the

front handle.

u Pull the lock-off button (4) backwards using your thumb

and at the same time squeeze the trigger switch (1) to

start the tool.

u Release the lock-off button.

Switching off

u Release the handle switch (2) or the trigger switch (1).

Warning! Never attempt to lock a switch in the on position.

Hints for optimum use

u Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Slightly tilt the tool

(up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so that the blade tips

point slightly towards the hedge (g. D). This will cause

the blades to cut more effectively. Hold the tool at the de-

sired angle and move it steadily along the line of cut. The

double-sided blade allows you to cut in either direction.

u In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of

string along the length of the hedge at the desired height.

Use the string as a guideline, cutting just above it. (g. E)

u In order to obtain at sides, cut upwards with the growth.

Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts

downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge (g. F).

u Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid

hard objects such as metal wire and railings, as these

could damage the blades (g. G).

u Regularly oil the blades.

Guidelines for trimming (UK & Ireland)

u Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in June and October.

u Trim evergreens in April and August.

u Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from May until October.

Guidelines for trimming (Australia & New Zealand)

u Trim hedges and shrubs with seasonal leaves (new leaves

every year) in December and March.

u Trim evergreens in September and February.

u Trim conifers and other fast growing shrubs every six

weeks from October until March.
