Danger!
When using the equipment, a few safety pre-
cautions must be observed to avoid injuries and
damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety regulations with due care.
Keep this manual in a safe place, so that the in-
formation is available at all times. If you give the
equipment to any other person, hand over these
operating instructions and safety regulations as
well.We cannot accept any liability for damage
or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow
these instructions and the safety instructions.
1. Safety regulations
General safety information for power tools
Danger!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regula-
tions and instructions may result in an electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions
in a safe place for future use.
The term „power tool“ used in the safety informati-
on and instructions refers to power tools operated
from the mains power supply (with a power cable)
and to battery operated power tools (without a
power cable).
1. Workplace safety
a) Keep your work area clean and well illu-
minated. Untidy or unlit work areas can result
in accidents.
b) Do not operate the electric tool in an en-
vironment where there is a risk of explo-
sions and where there are inflammable
liquids, gases or dust. Electric tools produ-
ce sparks which could set the dust or vapours
alight.
c) Keep children and other people away
from the power tool while you are using it.
If you are distracted you may lose control of
the power tool.
2. Electrical safety
a) The connector plug from this electric tool
must fit into the socket. The plug should
never be altered in any way. Never use ad-
apter plugs together with earthed electric
tools. Unaltered plugs and correct sockets
reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid bodily contact with earthed sur-
faces such as pipes, heating, ovens and
fridges. The risk of electric shock is increa-
sed if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the tool out of the rain and away
from moisture. The ingress of water into an
electric tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
d) Do not use the power cable for a purpose
for which it is not designed, for example
to carry the power tool, hang it up or to
pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the
power cable away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Power cables that
are damaged or tangled increase the risk of
an electric shock.
e) If you use an electric power tool out-
doors, use only extension cables that are
suitable for outdoor use. The use of an
extension cable which is suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
f) If operation of the electric tool in a damp
environment can not be avoided, use a
earth-leakage circuit-breaker. The earth-
leakage circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an
electric shock.
3. Safety of persons
a) Be careful, watch what you are doing and
use an electric tool sensibly. Do not use
the tool if you are tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention when using the electric
tool can result in serious injuries.
b) Wear personal protection equipment
and always wear safety goggles. Wearing
personal protection (such as dust masks,
non-slip safety shoes, safety helmet or ear
protection, depending upon the type and use
of the electric tool) reduces the risk of injury.
c) Make sure that the appliance cannot start
up accidentally. Ensure that the electric
tool is switched offbefore you connect
it to the power supply and/or insert the
battery, or pick up or carry the tool. If your
finger is on the switch whilst carrying the elec-
tric tool or if you connect the appliance to the
mains when it is switched on, this can lead to
accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches
before you switch on the power tool. Any
tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power
tool could cause injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal working postures. Make
sure you stand squarely and keep your
Anl_PXCTS_0182U_SPK7.indb 6Anl_PXCTS_0182U_SPK7.indb 6 28.08.2019 08:59:5728.08.2019 08:59:57

GB
- 7 -
balance at all times. This will enable you to
control the power tool better in unexpected
situations.
f) Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loo-
se fitting clothes or jewelry. Keep hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be
caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction devices and dust coll-
ection devices can be fitted, they must be
connected and must be used correctly.
The use of a dust extractor can reduce the
dangers posed by dust.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a
false sense of security and do not ignore
the safety regulations covering electric
power tools, even if you are familiar with
the power tool after having used it many
times. Carelessness can lead to serious inju-
ries in just a fraction of a second.
4. Using and handling the power tool
a) Do not overload your power tool. Use the
correct electric tool for the job in hand.
The correct tool will enable you to work better
and more safely within the specific perfor-
mance range.
b) Do not use an electric power tool if the
switch is defective. An electric power tool
that cannot be switched on or offis dange-
rous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or
remove the battery pack before making
any adjustments to the tool, changing ac-
cessories or putting the power tool down.
These precautions will prevent the power tool
starting accidentally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the
reach of children. Do not allow people
who are not familiar with the power tool
or who have not read these instructions
to use the tool. Electric tools are dangerous
if they are used by inexperienced people.
e) Look after power tools plug-in tools with
care. Check that moving parts function
correctly and do not jam, and whether
any parts are broken or damaged such
that they adversely affect the function
of the power tool. Have damaged parts
repaired before you use the power tool.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained electric tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Ca-
refully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, plug-in
tools, etc. as set out in these instructions.
Take account of the conditions in your
work area and the job in hand. Using elec-
tric tools for purposes other than the one for
which they are designed can result in dange-
rous situations.
h) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. If the
handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it will
not be possible to operate and control the
power tool safely in unforeseen situations.
5. Using and handling the cordless tool
a) Only charge the batteries in chargers that
are recommended by the manufacturer.
A charger that is designed for a certain type
of battery may pose a fire risk if it is used with
other types of battery.
b) Use only the correct batteries in the elec-
tric tools. The use of other batteries may
result in injuries and a fire risk.
c) Keep unused batteries away from paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other
metallic objects that could cause a short
circuit between the contacts. A short cir-
cuit between the battery contacts may cause
burns or a fire.
d) In case of incorrect use, fluid may escape
from the battery. Avoid contact with it. If
you touch it by accident, rinse the affec-
ted area with water. If you get the fluid
in your eyes, also seek medical advice.
Leaking battery fluid can cause skin irritation
or burns.
e) Never use damaged or altered rechargea-
ble batteries. Damaged or altered recharge-
able batteries can behave unpredictably and
lead to a risk of fire, explosion or injury.
f) Never expose a rechargeable battery to
fire or high temperatures. Fire or tempera-
tures over 130°C pose a risk of explosion.
g) Follow all the instructions on charging
and never charge the rechargeable batte-
ry or cordless tool outside the specified
allowable charging temperature range.
Incorrect charging or charging outside the
allowable charging temperature range could
cause irreparable damage to the battery and
increase the risk of fire.

6. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine
spare parts.This will ensure that your elec-
tric tool remains safe to use.
b) Never perform maintenance work on da-
maged rechargeable batteries. All mainte-
nance work on rechargeable batteries should
only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized after sales service outlets.
Additional safety instructions
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of
every battery pack to ensure that we supply you
with batteries which feature maximum power den-
sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac-
teristic curves are recorded.These data are then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best
possible battery packs. Despite all the safety
precautions, caution must always be exer-
cised when handling batteries. The following
points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama-
ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can
cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses confirm that incorrect use
and poor care are the main causes of the damage
caused by high performance batteries.
Information about the battery
1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged.The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the first
time.
2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.
3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 15°C and charged to at least 40%.
4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process.The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to
just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened
cells in an aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high power require-
ments and therefore pose a safety risk.
5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fire.
There is a risk of explosion!
6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fire.
7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the battery
cells.The most common cause of exhaustive
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.
8. Protect batteries and the tool from over-
loads. Overloads will quickly result in over-
heating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.
9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batte-
ries which have been dropped from a height
of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged.The battery cells inside the
battery may have suffered serious damage.
In this respect, please also read the waste
disposal information.
10. If the battery pack suffers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut-off
will switch offthe equipment for safety rea-
sons. Important. Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-offhas
actuated.This may damage the battery pack.
11. Use only original battery packs.The use of
other batteries may result in injuries, explosi-
on and a fire risk.
Information on chargers and the charging
process
1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to con-
nect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a different mains voltage.
2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualified
electrician.
3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children’s reach.
4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.
5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.
6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.
7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum charging times.These
charging times only apply to discharged

batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.
8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-
pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-
re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suffered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).
9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
10°C will cause chemical damage to the cell
and may cause a fire.
10. Do not use batteries which have heated du-
ring the charging process, as the battery cells
may have suffered dangerous damage.
11. Do not use batteries which have suffered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym-
ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)
12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (re-
commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.
13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.
Protection from environmental influences
1. Wear suitable work clothes.Wear safety gog-
gles.
2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.
3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and inflammable liquids.
4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe-
rature of 10-40°C.
5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
40°C. In particular, do not leave the battery
charger in a car that is parked in the sunshine.
6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.
7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers
and cordless tools. Store the charger and
your cordless tool only in dry places with an
ambient temperature of 10-40°C. Store your
lithium-ion battery pack in a cool, dry place at
a temperature of 10-20°C. Protect them from
humidity and direct sunlight. Only place fully
charged batteries in storage (charged at least
40%).
8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free-
zing. Battery packs which were stored below
0°C for more than 60 minutes must be dispo-
sed of.
9. When handling batteries beware of electro-
static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause
damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char-
ging and never touch the battery poles.
Rechargeable batteries and cordless electric
machines and tools contain materials that are po-
tentially harmful to the environment. Never place
any cordless electric machines or tools in your
household refuse. When cordless electric machi-
nes or tools become defective or worn, remove
the rechargeable batteries and return them to
iSC GmbH (address: Eschenstrasse 6, D-94405,
Germany). If the rechargeable batteries cannot be
removed, return the complete cordless machine
or tool.
You can then be sure that the equipment will be
correctly disposed of by the manufacturer.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fires.

4. In the section entitled „Charger indicator“ you
will find a table with an explanation of the LED
indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging.This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
• whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
• whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts.
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charging unit
• and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged.This will cause it to develop a defect.
Installing the battery (Fig. 4c-4d)
Open the battery cover. This is done by pressing
the lock release (A) as shown in Fig. 4b and swin-
ging up the cover.Then connect the two batteries

into the mounts as shown in Fig. 4d and push
them forward until you hear the batteries engage.
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 bat-
teries 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. 4a)
Press the switch for the battery capacity indicator
(Fig. 4a/Item A). The battery capacity indicator
(Fig. 4a/Item B) shows the charge status of the
battery using 3 LEDs.
All 3 LEDs are lit:
The battery is fully charged.
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 flash:
The battery pack has undergone exhaustive di-
scharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a
defective battery pack!
6. Operation
Caution!
The device is equipped with a safety switch to
prevent unauthorized use. Immediately before
using the device, insert the safety plug (Fig. 5/
Item 5). Remove the safety plug again when inter-
rupting or terminating your work. To do so, press
the lug (Fig. 5/Item A).
Danger! To prevent accidental start-up of the ma-
chine, the push-bar is equipped with a two-point
switch (Fig. 6/Item A) which must be pressed
before the lever switch (Fig. 6/Item B) can be
pressed. If the lever switch is released, the machi-
ne switches off. Repeat this process several times
so that you are sure that your machine functions
properly. Before you perform any repair or mainte-
nance work on the machine, ensure that the hoe
blades are not rotating and that the power supply
is disconnected.
The equipment must be moved into operating
position before you begin with your work. First
pull the locking pin (Fig. 7/Item A) in the direction
of the arrow as shown in Fig. 7 and swing up the
wheel unit until the locking pin engages again in
position B. Proceed in reverse order to move the
equipment into transport position.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the long handles) is maintained between the
machine and the user. Be especially careful
when changing direction on slopes and inclines.
Maintain a solid footing and wear sturdy, non-slip
footwear and long trousers. Always work along
the incline (not up and down).
Use special caution when backing up and pulling
the machine (tripping hazard).
6.2 Tips for proper working
Place the machine in front of the area you wish to
hoe and hold it securely on the push bar before
you switch on the machine. Guide the hoe blades
over the area.
To achieve cleanly hoed soil always ensure that
you guide the machine in straight lines wherever
possible. Insodoing, the aeration swaths should
always overlap each other by a few centimeters in
order to avoid bare strips.
Switch offthe motor promptly when you arrive at
the end of the area you wished to hoe.The motor
must be switched offwhen you raise the machine
(for example to change direction).
Keep the underside of the machine clean and re-
move soil deposits. Deposits make it more difficult
to start the machine and decrease the working
depth. Work perpendicular to the slop on inclined
areas.The machine must be switched offand the
mains cable disconnected before you make any
checks on the hoe blades.
Warning!
The hoe blades will continue to rotate for a few
seconds after the motor is switched off. Never att-
empt to manually stop them. In the event that the
rotating hoe blade strikes an object, immediately
switch offthe machine and wait for the hoe blades
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the con-
dition of the hoe blades. Replace any parts that
are damaged.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Hazard!
Always pull out the safety plug before making ad-
justments or carrying out maintenance, cleaning
and repair work on the equipment. Make sure that
the blade shaft is not turning.
7.1 Cleaning
• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible.Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device.The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
7.2 Replace the hoe blades
For safety reasons, we recommend having the
hoe blades replaced by an authorized professio-
nal (see address on warranty certificate).

should be cleaned and then oil to ensure that
they provide a long life. For best results, clean the
plastic parts of the machine with a brush or rag.
Do not use any solvents to remove dirt.
For space saving storage undo the star nuts (Fig.
3e 3f /Item 8) and fold together the push bars as
shown in Fig. 8. Ensure that you do not damage
the cable. At the end of the season, perform a
general inspection of the machine and remove
any deposits which may have accumulated. At the
start of each season, ensure that you check the
condition of the machine. If repairs are necessary,
please contact one of our customer service cen-
ters (see address on warranty certificate).
