3 General instructions regarding the battery:
In order to maintain the long service life of the battery, always
follow the instructions below:
z The hedge shears are automatically switched off when
the battery voltage is low. The battery must then be re-
charged before the shears can be used again.
z Always recharge the lithium-ion battery prior to any pro-
longed period of non-use, i.e. before storing the shears
away in autumn.
z The charging time is 2 hours for a battery that is comple-
tely empty.
z The lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be charged at
any charge level and charging can be interrupted at any
time without damaging the battery (no memory effect).
Adjust blade head
In order to ensure the same, ergonomically ideal handling in all cut-
ting situations the blade head has a 5-position latching mechanism
.

Perform adjustments to the device only when the motor is off
and the blade is idle.
1. Press the locking button down (1).
2. Rotate the blade head into the desired position (2).
3. Now release the locking button.
4. Check whether the blade head is in place (the hedge shears can
only be switched on if the blade head is snapped in).
Switching the hedge shears on/off
z Make sure that your hands are steady when working above head
height.

Tips for cutting
z Please observe the brooding season of the birds!
z The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid , which provides
for adequate light and ventilation for all parts of the hedge.
z In order to promote thick growth of young hedges, only half of
new shoots should be cut.
z If the hedge has already reached the desired height, new shoots
can be completely removed.
z In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can string up a
guide wire at the desired height and cut along this wire.
z Cutting seasons:
Deciduous hedges: May/June and October (cutback to ap-
prox. 1/3 of the total height in winter)
Conifer hedges: April and October
Conifers: April and October
