Limit the operating time!
All stages of the operating cycle must be conside-

switched on but operates without load).

5. Before starting the equipment

The machine is supplied without batteries
and without a charger!
5.1 Fitting the long handle (Fig. 3 - 6)
1. Plug the bottom long handle (Item 9) into the
top long handle (Item 5). Take care not to da-
mage the cable inside.
2. Insert the M6 lock bolt (Item 8) in the square
mount on the top long handle and screw it
tight with the wing nut (Item 7).
3. Insert the long handle in the long handle
mount (Item 10). If necessary, slightly depress
the spring ball (Item 9a) and carefully push
the long handle into the long handle mount.
The spring ball (Item 9a) will latch in the hole
provided (Item 10a).
4. Insert the M6 hex screw (Item 8a) in the

until it is tight and secures the long handle in
the long handle mount.
5.2 Adjusting the steady grip (Fig. 7)
For you to be able to work with the machine, the
steady grip must be aligned with the handle (see
Fig. 1 for the working position).
1. Open the wing nut (Item 7) by turning it coun-
ter-clockwise, turn the steady grip (Item 6)
until it is aligned with the handle, and push it
into a comfortable working height for yourself.
2. Close the wing nut by turning it clockwise and
secure the steady grip.
5.3 Fitting a battery (Fig. 8)
Caution! A battery is allowed to be fi tted only in
dry surroundings. Before you open the battery
compartment cover (Item 12), remove any snow
so that it does not fall into the housing. If the in-
terior of the battery compartment is wet or damp,
use an absorbent cloth to wipe it dry.

•
Always charge the two batteries simultane-
ously. Use only batteries which are charged to
the same level. Never combine full and half-
full batteries. The machine's operating time
depends on the battery with the lower charge
level.
•
The battery compartment cover is self-closing
and must be held open in order to fit the bat-
teries.
Open the battery compartment cover (Item 12)
and insert the batteries in the battery mount. The
battery will be heard to click into place when it is
pushed fully in. Close the battery compartment

•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charger
