Safety
General safety instructions for power tools
Warning: Read all theinstructions. Failure to comply with thefollowing instructions
can lead to electric shocks, fires or serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Theterm “power tool” in thefollowing text refers to your handheld mains operated or
battery operated tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep thework area clean and well illuminated. Cluttered and poorly lit areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not use power tools in explosive environments, e.g. near to flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can easily ignite dust
and fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from thearea where you are using
thepower tool. Distractions can cause you to lose concentration and control of
thetool.
2) Electrical safety
a) Theplug of thepower tool must fit correctly into thewall socket. Never modify
theplug in any way. Never use anadaptor plug together with earthed power tools.
There is less risk of receiving anelectric shock if plugs and sockets which have not
been modified are used.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed objects such as pipes, radiators, ovens
and refrigerators. There is anincreased risk of receiving anelectric shock if your
body is earthed.
c) Do not expose thepower tool to rain or other wet conditions. Water entering
apower tool will increase therisk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse themains lead. Never use thelead to carry or drag thepower
tool or to jerk theplug from awall socket. Keep thelead away from heat, oil,
sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled leads increase therisk of
electric shock.
e) When using power tools outdoors, use anextension lead that is suitable for
this purpose. Theuse of anextension lead designed for outdoor use decreases
therisk of electric shocks.
f) If theuse of thepower tool in awet environment is unavoidable, awall socket
equipped with aportable residual current device (RCD) should be used.
Use of anRCD significantly reduces therisk of electric shock.

5
ENGLISH
3) Personal safety
a) Pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when using
power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under theinfluence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention while using apower
tool may result in serious injury.
b) Wear protective clothing. Always wear safety glasses. Using protective
clothing such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear defenders
reduces therisk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starts. Make sure that thepower switch is set to OFF before
plugging thepower tool into awall socket, fitting thebattery or picking up/
carrying thepower tool. Never carry apower tool with your finger on thetrigger
and never connect thepower tool to awall socket when theswitch is set to ON,
since it may result in injury.
d) Remove all service tools/keys before switching on thepower tool.
Aservice tool left on arotating part of thepower tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of thepower tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery.
Keep hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothes,
jewellery or long hair could become caught in moving parts.
g) If equipment for theextraction and collection of dust is available, make sure
it is connected and used properly. Theuse of such equipment can significantly
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Use and maintenance of the power tool
a) Do not force thepower tool. Use thecorrect power tool for your application.
Thecorrect power tool will do thejob better and safer if used at therate for which
it was designed.
b) Never use thepower tool if thepower switch does not switch thetool on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled by thepower switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Unplug thelead from thewall socket before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing thepower tool. These precautions reduce
therisk of thepower tool starting unexpectedly.
d) Store power tools that are not being used out of children’s reach. Do not
allow people who are unfamiliar with thetool or its functions to operate it.
Power tools can be dangerous if they fall into thehands of inexperienced users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
broken parts or anything else which might affect theoperation of thepower
tool. If something is damaged, have thepower tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6
ENGLISH
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use thepower tool and any accessories in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account theworking conditions and thework to be performed.
Using thepower tool for apurpose other than that for which it is intended could
result in adangerous situation.
5) The use and maintenance of cordless power tools
a) Charge thebattery using acharger recommended by themanufacturer.
b) Thetool is supplied with abattery provided by themanufacturer. Do not use
any other battery.
c) If handled incorrectly, battery fluid can leak from thebattery. If this fluid
should come into contact with skin; rinse thearea thoroughly with water.
Always contact adoctor if this fluid comes into contact with your eyes.
6) Service
a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and
only with original spare parts. This guarantees that thesafety of thepower tool
is maintained.

Charging the battery
• Plug theDC connector of themains charger into the9 V charger socket (7).
• Make sure that themains voltage is thesame as that stated on therating plate of
thecharger.
• Plug themains charger (16) into awall socket. Thered LED (4) will light as long as
charging is in progress and go out when thebattery is fully charged.
• Thecharging time is 3–5 hours for adischarged battery. It is normal for thebattery
to get hot while it is being charged.
• If thecharging is unsuccessful, check that thewall socket is live.
• Theservice life of thebattery can be prolonged by ensuring that it is always
charged in time. It needs to be charged as soon as theperformance of
themachine drops.
• Make sure that thebattery never becomes fully discharged. This can shorten
theservice life of thebattery.
• Temperature range for charging and storing thebattery: 0–40ºC.
Note:
• Thelithium-ion battery has abuilt-in electronic deep discharge protection which
prevents partial power from being delivered. Full power is provided at all times
until theelectronic protection engages, turning off thetrimmer and signifying that
thebattery needs to be recharged. Thetool will then switch off automatically.
Do not attempt to continue work after this point as doing so may damage
thebattery. Abattery recharge is now required before any work is resumed.
• Thebattery also has abuilt-in electronic overload protection. If thetool is put under
too much pressure, theelectronics automatically cut thepower and thetool stops.
Release thetrigger and wait afew seconds before switching thetrimmer on again.
• Thelithium-ion battery has no memory which means that it can be charged at any
time regardless of its battery charge level.
• Charge thebattery for at least 6 hours thefirst and second time it is charged.
• For long-term storage thebattery should be fully charged at least every 6 months.
Assembly
Themultitrimmer comes with adetachable extension handle and two
interchangeable cutters: Hedge trimmer and grass shears.
