Function Description
The cordless hedge trimmer features
a laser-cut knife of special-grade steel.
When trimming, the cutting teeth move to
and fro in a linear shearing motion. The
strike guard at the tip of the knife prevents
unpleasant kickback reactions when hit-
ting walls, fences, etc. Operators are pro-
tected by the appliance’s two-hand safety
switch and quick-stop brake function.
The hand protection guards your hands
against twigs and branches.

Charging the battery
Do not expose the battery to
extreme conditions such as heat
or impact. Risk of injury from
escaping electrolytic solution!
Prior to charging the battery, check
that its outer surface is clean and
dry.
• The battery of the appliance is not
fully charged at the time of delivery. It
therefore needs to be fully recharged
before you use it for the first time.
• Recharge the battery when you notice
that the appliance is becoming slower.
• Do not keep charging the battery
continuously and avoid it becoming
entirely discharged since this may
damage the battery cells.
The warranty excludes all defects
caused by improper handling.
• If a fully recharged battery lasts for
considerably shorter operating times,
the battery is used up and needs to
be replaced. Only use an OEM battery
pack replacement available from our
Customer Service.
• Always take heed of the applicable
safety instructions as well as the envi-
ronmental protection regulations and
information.
