Prior to initial commissioning

WARNING
BEFORE USE OBSERVE CHAPTER 2 “FOR YOUR SAFETY”. You should also note the following safety instructions:

• The mains voltage must be in compliance with the voltage specification (V~) on the type plate of the charger.
• Use only the supplied charger with corresponding original Li-Ion battery (only item no. 001300.0000).

Operate charger only in dry rooms.

NOTE!

• The battery (D) is only partially charged. Before initial use, fully charge battery. Please ensure that the charging procedure is performed at room temperature. This is the only way to ensure a long battery life.
• A significantly decreased runtime in spite of charging indicates that the battery is dead and must be replaced. Use only original Li-Ion batteries, which you can purchase from manufacturer’s customer service.
• Charger and battery can heat up during charging. This is normal and not a sign of a technical defect.
• The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged at any time, regardless of charge state. Premature interruption of charging does not cause damage to the battery. A protective circuit on the battery pre-vents depth discharge of battery.
• The battery is equipped with temperature monitoring that only permits charging over a temperature range between 0 °C and 45 °C. This ensures a long battery life.
• Do not press the On/Off switch again if the FineCut 18V has switched itself off automatically. The battery can be dam-aged. Note the details concerning disposal of the battery.

Charging procedure
Figures 8 – 9

• Remove battery (D) from pack-aging (only item no. 001300.0000).
• The charging process starts as soon as the plug has been plugged into the power outlet and the battery (D) has been placed in the charger (M).
• Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging cur-rent, depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger for storage.

Indicator statuses:

• The charging process is indicated by the flashing of the battery charge indicator.
• A solid light on the battery charge indicator signals that the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within the permitted charging temperature range, and can therefore not be charged. The battery is charged as soon as the allowable charging tempera-ture range is reached. When the battery is not inserted, a solid light on the battery charge indicator signals that the mains plug is inserted in the plug socket and that the charger is ready for operation.
• Following a successful charging procedure, first disconnect the charger plug from the power outlet, then remove the battery from the charger.

Use and commisioning

Figures 10 – 15

WARNING
BEFORE COMMISIONING OBSERVE CHAPTER 2 “FOR YOUR SAFETY”.

Inserting the battery

ATTENTION

• When inserting the battery, ensure that the contacts at the device and the battery itself are dry. Insert the charged battery into the device as shown into place.
• Make sure that the surface to be cut is free from debris e.g. stones, screws etc., which could be flung up.

Commissioning

ATTENTION

• Improper use of the device poses a risk of damage to property! You should therefore observe the follow-ing safety instructions:
• When working on the lawn border, make sure that you do not damage the edge of the curb (e.g. when tilting or tipping the device) or that the edge of the curb damages or bends the blade bar.
• The knife blades are precisely adjusted for grass cutting. Cutting branches and bushes will result in a loss of pre-tension and thus reduce the quality of the grass cut.
• Check the lawn surface to be trimmed beforehand to avoid damage to device/objects or injuries to living beings. Power lines, stones, pieces of wood, wires or the like, as well as other foreign objects must be removed. Objects that the grass trimmer pick up can be cut.

NOTE!

• Remove the blade guard (K).
• Clean the grass trimmer before or after each use. Oil the blades with machine oil or spray lubricating oil before or after use.
• Before using the grass trimmer, first mow the lawn using the lawnmower / lawn robot.
• Adjust the cutting height (3/4/5 cm) as described in section 6.2.
• Place the on the lawn and switch the device on.
• 13 Now move the device once slowly for- wards and back on the lawn. Do not apply pressure to the device. Leaving the grass trimmer at one position for too long can damage the turf

NOTE!
If too much cut grass settles on the blade bar, switch off the device, lift it slightly and shake off the grass.

ATTENTION

• Improper use of the device poses a risk of damage to property! You should therefore observe the following safety instructions:
• When cutting around curbs, fences, or trees, make sure the blade bar does not come into contact with them.
• 12 Oil the blades at least once an hour (machine oil or spray lubricating oil).

Angle adjustment
Your is equipped with an angle adjustment mechanism (I) which allows you to trim your lawn even in hard-to-reach areas. Proceed as follows to adjust the angle of the tube:

CAUTION

• RISK OF INJURY FROM OSCILLATING METAL BLADES!
• Switch off your device when adjusting the angle!

Figures 14 – 15
Press both angle adjustment but-tons (I) simultaneously to adjust the tube. The angle (I) can be adjusted in 9 stages. You can therefore work under obstacles when it is set flat. Battery status indicator
The device is equipped with a battery charge indicator (C) that displays the charging status of the battery. The dis-plays only light up when the device is switched on.

• Battery capacity (green LEDs):
  • Reserve ≤ 30% ≤ 60%
• Temperature protection:
  • Low voltage cutoff

NOTE!
In rare cases, after the battery has been removed and then reinserted, the battery status indicator (green LEDs) can display a higher battery power than before battery removal. The reason is that the last battery power during operation is saved in the device. Once the battery has been removed and reinserted into the device, the battery power is re-measured and a higher power can therefore be displayed on the indicator.

Battery runtime
The battery operating time essentially depends on the load on the device and can lead to shorter battery operating times. Another factor is overly frequent starting and stopping during cutting, which can also reduce battery operating time.

• When shipping by third parties (e.g.: by air transport or for- warding agency), special requirements on packaging and labelling must be observed.
• Dispatch battery packs only when the housing is undam- aged. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging. Please also observe the possibility of more detailed national regulations. Please be sure to observe the information under www.gloriagarten.de/returns

Disposal of packaging

• The packaging materials have been selected according to environment ally- suitable and disposal-related aspects and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging to the material circulation saves raw materials and reduces the level of waste.
• Please dispose of unwanted pack aging materials according to applicable local regulations.

Warranty & Guarantee

• GLORIA gives a 24 month guarantee as per of the terms and conditions of the warranty (www.gloriagarten.de).
• This does not affect your legal rights to claims under warranty with regard to the seller.
