6.1 Cutting grass
Allow the grass cutter to glide above the ground. The
best results are achieved when the lawn is dry.
When you notice a drop in cutting performance, re-
charge the tool immediately so that the battery does
not become fully discharged.
6.2 Trimming hedges
The tool can be used to trim small hedges and
shrubs.
Hold the tool slightly tilted in relation to the hedge
you want to cut.
First cut the sides from the bottom up, then cut the
top.
Watch out for foreign objects in or on the hedge
which could damage the blades.
When is the best time to trim hedges?
Ȝ As a general rule, hedges which lose their leaves
in the autumn should be trimmed in June and
October.
Ȝ Hedges which do not lose their leaves should be
cut in April and August.
6.3. Changing the blades
Important! Risk of injury!
To remove the blades press the lug (Fig. 6/Item 1)
and push off the cover (Fig. 6/Item 2) in direction of
the arrow.
Once you have removed the blade you will be able to
see the toothed wheels of the gear unit (Fig. 7). Make
sure that no dirt gets into the gear unit when you
change the blade. To assemble, proceed in reverse
order.
When you fit the hedge cutter blade, check the
position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig.
7/Item 1). Take the hedge cutter blade and slide the
eccentric mount (Fig. 8/Item 1) into position so that
the pin for the eccentric connector and the eccentric
mount fit together precisely when assembled. Slot the
hedge cutter blade onto the guide pins (Fig. 7/Item 2).
When you fit the grass cutter blade, check the
position of the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig.
7/Item 1) again.
Shift the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1) on the grass
cutter blade to the left or the right to find the position
at which the pin for the eccentric connector (Fig.
7/Item 1) and the eccentric mount (Fig. 9/Item 1)
match up.
6.4. Height adjustment of the mount
To adjust the cutting height, press the release
backwards (Figure 4/Item 1). Now you can move the
wheels to the top or bottom position (Fig. 4). The
release engages again automatically at the fixed
position when activated.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
7.1 Cleaning
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.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
A few drops of oil (e.g. sewing machine oil) will
improve the cutting performance of the blades,
but never apply any grease to the blades. To
ensure constant exact cutting it is also important
to remove grass remnants and dirt from between
the upper and lower blade.
Important!
Never clean the tool under running water - and
particularly never with high pressure - because
of the potential danger to persons and property.
Keep your cordless grass cutter and hedge
trimmer in a dry and frost-proof place. Choose a
place that children are unable to enter.
7.2 Maintenance
To achieve good results you should keep the
blades sharp at all times. In particular we
recommend that you immediately level off any
jags or ridges caused by stones or the like. The
tool should be thoroughly cleaned both before
and after use.
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
