7. Using for the first time and operation
The hedge trimmer comes with a two-hand safety
switch. It only works if the switch on the guide handle
(Fig. 6a / Item A) is pressed with one hand and either
the switch on top of the handle (Fig. 6a / Item B) or
the switch below the handle (Fig. 6a / Item C) is
pressed with the other hand.
Releasing any of the switches will bring the hedge
trimmer to a stop.
In so doing, please check the running of the
blades.
쎲 Please check that the blades function correctly.
The blades cut on both sides and run in opposite
directions to each other, for guaranteed high
cutting performance and quiet operation.
쎲 Fasten the extension cable to the cable holder
before starting to use the machine (see Fig. 6b).
쎲 For use in the open air you must only use
extension cables certified for the purpose.
Tips on use
쎲 The hedge trimmer can be used not only for
trimming hedges but for trimming shrubs and
bushes as well.
쎲 For optimum trimming performance, guide the
blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the
hedge (see Fig. 7).
쎲 Since the blades cut on both sides and run in
opposite directions to each other, you can trim in
both directions (see Fig. 8).
쎲 It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or
the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge
to a level height. Cut off all branches which
protrude beyond the guide line (see Figure 9).
Ensure that the blades do not come into contact
with the string.
쎲 The sides of the hedge should be trimmed with
arc-type movements from below upwards (see
Fig. 10).
8. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-

danger.
