the state of charge at the state of charge
indicator LEDs.
The indicator goes out after 5 seconds.
If one of the LEDs flashes, the battery must
be recharged. If none of the LEDs light up
after the button is pressed, the battery is
faulty and must be replaced.

Remove the battery.
◼
Clean the cutter bar after each use.
Remove contamination, remains of
blades etc.

Spray the cutter bar with maintenance oil
to ensure that the hedge trimmer has
a long service life. Preferably use
environmentally friendly lubricants,
e.g. service sprays.
CAUTION!
Do not oil the hedge trimmer while it is
running.
Work instructions
◼
Check that all parts are firmly attached
and obviously undamaged.
◼
Look over the working area and remove
any obstructions.

Cut out thick branches beforehand using
pruning shears.
