short circuits and fi res.
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.
5.6 Battery charge level indicator (Fig. 10)
Press the button for the battery charge level indi-
cator (Item A). The battery charge level indicator
(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 fl ashes:
The battery is empty, recharge the battery.
All LEDs blink:
The battery temperature is too low. Remove the
battery from the equipment, keep it at room tem-
perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me-
ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone
exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove
the battery from the equipment. Never use or
charge a defective battery.
Danger!
Do not put the machine into operation until it has
been fully assembled.

6. Operation

Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.
Warning! The cutter drum will begin to rotate im-
mediately after the machine is switched on. Keep
your hands and feet away from rotating parts.
6.1 Switching on the machine (Fig. 11)
While you hold the machine securely with your
hands on the handles, press the safety lock-off
(Item 3) and the On/Off switch (Item 2). Then re-
lease the safety lock-off again.

6.2 Switching off the machine (Fig. 11)
Release the On/Off switch (Item 2).
6.3 Speed controller (Fig. 11)
Turn the speed controller (Item 4) to set the speed
(1 = minimum / 6 = maximum) of the cutter drum
(Fig. 12/Item 17). This enables individual adjust-
ment to the area you want to clear. The numbers
2 – 5 marked on the speed controller are provided
as extra indication of the set speed.
6.4 Clearing away snow
Read the enclosed safety instructions, particularly
section 2: "Safe operation of manually driven
snow throwers".
Each time before you use the machine, check the
following:
•
Are there any signs of damage to the safety
devices and the cutter drum? Are they com-
plete? Replace any damaged parts.
•
Are all screws securely fastened?
•
Do all moving parts move smoothly?
6.4.1 Adjusting the snow guide blades
(Fig. 12)
Lift the adjustment lever (Item 13) for adjusting
the eject direction and turn it. By doing this you
adjust the snow guide blades (Item 16).
Let go of the adjustment lever and lock it in one of
the three possible positions +30° / 0° / -30° (right
/ center / left).
6.4.2 Setting the ejection range
After adjusting the snow guide blades you can
use the speed controller (see section 6.3) to ad-
just the ejection range to your requirements.
6.4.3 Tips on clearing away snow properly
•
The battery operating time and therefore the
area in square meters that can be cleared
with a single battery charge is largely depen-
dent on the given snow conditions (e.g. pow-
dery snow, wet snow, height of snow ...) and
the user's walking speed. Frequently turning
the machine on and off during the clearance
will also reduce the area per charge perfor-
mance. Battery performance drops with the
temperature. It is recommended therefore to
fit room-temperature batteries in the battery
mount just before you begin with the clearing
work and to remove the batteries when you
have finished. If the battery operating time
(area performance) is still unsatisfactory in
spite of the above measures, you can help re-
