-
cutting blades. Do not try to remove cut-off
matter with the tool running. Do not try to
hold material to be cut off with your hand.

tween the blades only with the tool being
switched off! When working with hedge trim-
mers even a short moment of inattentiveness
may result in severe injury.
Hold the power tool by its insulated han-

get in touch with the tool's own power
cable. If the cutting blades should acciden-
tally cut into a live power cable this might turn
metal parts of the tool 'hot' thereby causing an
electric shock.

sulated in accordance with classification II of VDE 0740.
Before using the machine ensure that the mains current
agrees with the operating voltage data on the machine's
identification plate.
Power Circuit Breaker:
Machines which will be used in different outside loca-

Securing the power supply cable (Fig. 3)
Only use cables (extension flex) that are approved for
outdoor use. The cable diameter must be equal to or bigger
than 1.5mm² for cable lengths up to 75m.
Put the coupling of the extension flex onto the shears'
plug. For strain relief, stick a loop of the extension flex
through the opening in the handle and put it onto the
strain relief hook.
Extension flexes with a length of more than 30m reduce
the machine's output.
