Battery

cause serious inquiry and permanent damage to the battery!

Charging

• Only use the original charger with art. no. 90066658 (standard charger) or 90066657 (quick charger).
• Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to full charge it first.

The battery has an energy indicator. Press the button and a number of LED lighs will flash (Illustration 7):

• 4 lights: 100% battery power
• 3 lights: 75% battery power
• 2 lights: 50% battery power
• 1 light: Less than 25% battery power

Note: The indicator lights is only indicative indications, and is not accurate power indications.
Important: To protect the battery from total discharge, the machine will stop, when the battery is nearly empty.
The machine must not be started up again after the automatic shutdown, as it can damage the battery. The battery must be recharged before the work can continue.

Charging

A full charge takes around 75 min (2.5Ah battery).
An extra quick charger (30 min) is sold separately at your local dealer or at www.texas.dk
Art. no. 90066657.

• Only use the original charger, which is included with the product and do not try to charge another type of battery in the charger, other than the original battery with art. no. 90066660 (2.5Ah) or 90066659 (4.0Ah).
• Keep the charger in a dry and warm environment (10-25 degrees C) and only use it indoors. It should be connected to a normal 230V AC socket.
• Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to charge it fully.
• The surface of the battery can become warm during charging. This is normal.
• Do not cover battery or charger during charging. Allow free ventilation of air.

Insert the battery into the slots of the charger and slide it into place until it locks.
There are 4 lights on the charger indicating the status and state of charge of the battery

• Constant red light: The charger is ready to charge, but no battery is connected
• Flashing red light: Battery fault or overheat (always let a warm battery cool off before charging it)
• Flashing green light: Battery is charging
• Constant green light: Batteri er fuldt oplades og skal fjernes fra opladeren.

Important: The charger will stop, when the battery is full. However, it is not recommended to leave the battery in the charger for more than 24 hours.
It is recommended to drain the battery completely and fully charge it whenever possible, as it can increase the health of the battery. But partial charge will not damage the battery.
To remove the battery from the charger, hold the button down and pull the battery out.
During winter storage, the battery should be partly charged and kept warm at 10-20degrees C. Make sure to keep ventilation holes clean and free from dirt.

Use

Before use, make sure that the battery (1) is fitted properly with the battery lock (2) in place.
To start the hedge trimmer, first press the main switch (3), so it lights green. Then hold the safety switch (4) and activate both the trigger switch (5) and the front handle switch (8).
For safety reasons, the hedge trimmer only works when both switches are activated (5+8)
Stop the hedge trimmer by releasing the trigger switch (5) or the front handle switch (8).
The free gab between the blade teeth is 23 mm, but to ensure enough power to cut each branch nicely and avoid the blade getting blocked, it is recommended to avoid branches
larger than 15 mm depending on the hedge type. Use a handsaw or pruning cutter to trim the larger branches

Rotatable rear handle

The rotatable handle has 3 positions. Spend some time finding the position that is right for you. The rotatable handle makes the work more ergonomically correct.
To change position pull the lock (1) and turn the handle (2). The trigger switch must not be activated when turning the handle, as it will prevent it to turn.

Tips and advice

Apart from hedges, the hedge trimmer may also be used for cutting bushes.
The best cutting effect is achieved when holding the blade at an angle to the hedge of approx. 15°.
The opposite rotating knives cut on both sides, and it is, therefore, possible to trim the hedge in both directions.
The sides of the hedge are trimmed using curve-shaped movements from the bottom and upwards.

Clothing

When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes, strong working gloves, hearing protectors, eye protection and boots with non-skid soles.

Maintenance

Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery is removed from the tool.

• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.

• For obtaining the best cutting results the knives must be cleaned and oiled regularly.
  Remove dirt with a brush and oil lightly.

• Use biodegradable oil.

• Clean the housing and other parts with a mild cleanser and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.

• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

• Use the blade protection when the machine is stored.
