Connect only to a single-phase AC current supply and only to the mains voltage
specified on the rating plate. Connection to sockets without earth protection is
possible as the appliance features protective insulation to DIN 57 740/ VDE 0740
and CEE 20. Radio suppression complies with the European standard EN 55014.
When fitting the plug, make sure that the brown (live) wire of this appliance is
connected to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red, and the blue (neutral) wire
of this appliance is connected to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black.
Under no circumstances must the wires of this appliance be connected to the earth
terminal of the plug marked either E, with the earth symbol or coloured green or
green/yellow.
Connect the plug of the machine with the
extension cable and secure the connection
against unintended interruption with the
cable tension release in the handle.
The cable on the machine is short on
purpose. Should you ever cut through the
cable, it will be the extension, which can
easily be replaced or repaired.
1.
Attach the guard with the carrying
handle to the machine as illustrated. The
guard must be inserted in the gap of the
housing.
2.
Insert two screws and tighten.
Switching on: Press switch handle and
switch simultaneously and hold. The
sequence of switching is unimportant as
the machine only starts when both
switches are activated.
Out of safety reasons, there is no locking
button in the switches.
Switching off: Release either switch
handle or switch.
Due to the quick stop, the machine will
stop within 0.03 seconds after the release of either switch.
Before using the tool please read the instructions. If possible have the tool
demonstrated.
Always keep a safe footing and hold machine with both hands. Keep children or
animals away from working area.
Keep a safe distance between the blades and your body.
To avoid damage to the extension cable always start work near the power supply
and work away from socket, trailing the cable behind you.
When working near the ground avoid earth or stones getting caught between the
blades.
