**** Safety information

This electrical cutting device fulfills the applicable standards of European and national guidelines and has been constructed in accordance with state-of- the-art technology. Pay close attention to the instructions and information contained in the operating instructions in order to ensure safe utilization.
CAUTION: Read all the safety information and instructions. Non-observance of the warnings and instructions can result in an electric shock, fire, and/or serious injuries.
The term “electric power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) electrical power tools.
Safety in the work area. Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Do not use the device in explosive areas, for example in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical power tools can generate sparks that can lead to highly flammable materials igniting.
Keep a safe distance from children and other persons when working using this electrical power tool. Distractions can cause accidents.
Electrical safety. The connector plug provided with the power supply must fit into the plug socket. Do not modify the plug under any circumstances. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed electrical power tools.
Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces, such as heating pipes, stoves, and refrigerators. The risk of electric shock is increased if your body is earthed.
Only use the electrical device indoors. Do not expose the device to rain or moisture under any circumstances. Ingress of water into the electrical power tool can increase the risk of an electric shock.
**** Do not overstretch the power supply cord. Do not use the cord to carry or pull the electrical power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

Personal safety

**** Be careful when using the cordless shears. Do not use the shears if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A single moment of carelessness when operating the electrical power tool may result in serious injuries.

Charging the battery

**** Always make sure that the On/Off switch is in the Off position before charging the device.
The battery for these cordless shears was delivered at a low state of charge. Fully charge the battery before using the device for the first time.

Note:
The battery will not usually reach full charging capacity when charged for the first time. The full charging capacity will only be reached after a few charging cycles. The battery should only be charged indoors.
You should therefore initially leave the electrical power tool connected to the power supply for 7 hours. After the initial charging process and normal use, it will usually
take 3-5 hours to full charge the battery.
The battery and the power supply may feel warm during the charging process. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
Do not place the cordless shears, including the charger, in an area with extreme heat or cold. The ideal ambient
Charging indicator
Connects the adapter to a suitable power supply.
Important:
Check the voltage on the type plate. Insert the charger plug into the charging socket on the tool’s rear handle. The shears connection has a red LED. The LED will light up (red) as soon as the charger is connected.
temperature for charging is the normal temperature within heated inside rooms.

The LED goes out again once the battery is fully charged. Pull out the cord once charging is complete.

Replacing the cutting head

NOTE:
Make sure that the safety switch is in the Off position before replacing the shearing head.

1. Lift the knob in the housing above the shearing head (2) and hold it up while removing the shearing head.
2. Install the desired shearing head by pushing it into the tool until it engages, as shown in the image.

1. Switching on the device: Push safety switch (3) forwards and switch to On. Press the On/Off switch lever (6).|
2. Switching off the device: Release the On/Off switch lever and push the safety switch into the Off position.

Initial operation

Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the device tool in unexpected situations.
Wear appropriate clothing. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Before using the device for the first time, remove the charger from the socket and disconnect the device from the charger. The shears will not work if they are still connected to the charger.
Switch on the device.
Allow the cutting blades to move freely for a brief a moment before starting to cut.
Do not apply too much pressure on the tool. The perfect cut can be best made when there is no great resistance. Both straight and curved cuts can be made with great precision.

The cutting blades become hot during use; do not touch them under any circumstances until they have cooled down fully.
As soon as the blades become blunt, the cutting resistance increases and the cut will not look neat.
We therefore recommend that you replace the shearing head in a timely manner.
The following maximum material strengths must be observed in order to avoid damage to the shearing head:
