marked on the rating plate of the battery charger.
Insert the power plug of the charger (9) into the
mains socket outlet. The green LED will then
begin to flash.

Insert the battery pack (8) into the battery charger
(9).

In section “Charger indicator” you will find a table
with an explanation of the LED indicator on the
charger.

If the battery fails to charge, please check

whether there is voltage at the socket outlet

whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts of the charging unit

If the battery still fails to charge, send

the charging unit

and the screwdriver

to our customer service center.

To ensure that the battery pack provides long service
you should take care to recharge it promptly.
Recharging is always necessary when you notice a
drop in the performance of your cordless grass
trimmer.

Never fully discharge the battery pack. This will
cause it to develop a defect.

Installing the battery (Fig. 16b-16d)

Open the battery cover. This is done by pulling the
snap fastener (Fig. 16b/Item A) as shown in Fig. 16b
and swinging up the cover. Then insert the two
batteries in the mounts as shown in Fig. 16c.
Important.

Use only batteries which are charged to the
same level. Never combine full and half-full
batteries. Always charge the two batteries
simultaneously.
The equipment’s operating time depends on the
battery with the lower charge level. The two
batteries must always be fully charged before
use.

Close the battery cover by swinging it down, and
make sure that it latches in place correctly.

Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 19)

Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator
(Fig. 19/Item A). The battery capacity indicator (Fig.

using 3 LEDs.

All 3 LEDs are lit:

2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:

The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

1 LED blinks:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery pack has undergone exhaustive
discharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a
defective battery pack.

7. Operation

Important.
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before
starting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug
(Figure 16e) and remove the safety plug again
whenever you interrupt or terminate your work.

Important.

To prevent the equipment switching on accidentally,
the lawn mower is equipped with a safety switch (Fig.
17/Item 1) which must be pressed before the
switching bar (Fig. 17/Item 2) can be activated. The
lawn mower switches itself off when the switching bar
is released. Repeat this process several times so that
you are sure that the machine functions properly.
Before you perform any repair or maintenance work
on the equipment, ensure that the blade is not
rotating and that the power supply is disconnected.

Important. Never open the chute flap when the
grass basket has been detached (to be emptied)
and the engine is still running. A rotating blade
can cause serious injuries!

Always carefully fasten the chute flap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.

Always ensure that a safe distance (provided by the
length of the long handles) is maintained between the
user and the mower housing. Be especially careful
when mowing and changing direction on slopes and
inclines. Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-
slip footwear and long trousers.

Always mow along the incline (not up and down). For
safety reasons, the lawn mower may not be used to
mow inclines whose gradient exceeds 15 degrees.

Use special caution when backing up and pulling the
lawn mower. Tripping hazard!
