device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer

will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter

blades.

4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During

operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can

be accidentally cut by the blade.

5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet or

very damp conditions. The electric motor is not

waterproof.

6. First-time users should have an experienced hedge

trimmer user show them how to use the trimmer.

7. The hedge trimmer must not be used by children or

young persons under 18 years of age. Young persons

over 16 years of age may be exempted from this

restriction if they are undergoing training under the

supervision of an expert.

8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good physical

condition. If you are tired, your attention will be

reduced. Be especially careful at the end of a working

day. Perform all work calmly and carefully. The user is

responsible for all damages to third parties.

9. Never use the trimmer when under the influence of

alcohol, drugs or medication.

10. Check to make sure that the voltage and frequency of

the power supply correspond to the specifications

given on the identification plate. We recommend the

use of a residual-current-operated circuit breaker

(ground-fault circuit interrupter) with a tripping current

of 30 mA or less, or an earth leakage current

protector.

11. Work gloves of stout leather are part of the basic

equipment of the hedge trimmer and must always be

worn when working with it. Also wear sturdy shoes

with anti-skid soles.

12. Before starting work check to make sure that the

trimmer is in good and safe working order. Ensure

guards are fitted properly. Check cable for damage

before starting work and replace if necessary. The

hedge trimmer must not be used unless fully

assembled.

13. Keep cable away from the cutting area. Always work

in such a way that the extension power cord is behind

you.

14. Remove plug from the mains immediately if cable is

damaged or cut.

15. Make sure you have a secure footing before starting

operation.

16. Hold the tool firmly when using the tool.

17. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

18. Immediately switch off the motor and unplug the

mains plug if the cutter should come into contact with

a fence or other hard object. Check the cutter for

damage, and if damaged repair immediately.

19. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults, or

removing material caught in the cutter, always switch

off the trimmer and unplug the mains plug.

20. Switch off the trimmer and disconnect and secure the

mains plug before doing any maintenance work.

21. When moving the hedge trimmer to another location,

including during work, always unplug the mains plug

and put the blade cover on the cutter blades. Never

carry or transport the trimmer with the cutter running.

Never grasp the cutter with your hands.

22. Clean the hedge trimmer and especially the cutter

after use, and before putting the trimmer into storage

for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter and put on

the cover. The cover supplied with the unit can be

hung on the wall, providing a safe and practical way to

store the hedge trimmer.

23. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a dry

room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store the

trimmer outdoors.

24. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

press switch trigger A or C at the same time. Release

either one of the two pressed switch triggers to turn off.

The sequence of switching is unimportant as the tool only

Vertical cut (Fig. 3)

Cut upwards with both hands pull the switch triggers B

and C and move it in front of your body.

CAUTION:

• Make sure that the extension cord is unplugged to the

mains outlet. (Fig. 4)

When engaging the extension cord, secure it to the tool’s

cord with the hook complete. Attach the hook about 100 –

200 mm from the extension cord connector. This will help

prevent unintentional disconnection.
