Construction
If the hedge trimmer you purchased does not have a
hand protection cover fitted, it must be fitted before
use. Before installing the cover, first remove the bar
cover. Mount the hand cover on the scissor body and
secure it with two screws
Description of functions
During cutting, the blade edge moves linearly
backwards and forwards against the out-of-focus
cutting plate. For safety reasons, the cutting blades
are rounded and curved on the sides to reduce the
risk of injury. The added impact protection prevents
unwanted kickbacks in case of contact with walls,
fences and similar surfaces. In addition, the protective
cover of the hand serves to protect against stumps
and thorns.
Using a rotating handle
The scissors are equipped with a rotating handle. Pull
the handle rotation knob (7) out and you can turn it to
three positions (0, 90, -90), then release the knob.
Switching on and off
Connect the scissors to the mains.
! Make sure you maintain a safe posture and hold the
device firmly with both hands and at a safe distance
from your body. Before turning on the device, make
sure that it does not touch any objects.

Check the hedge trimmer before using it
-! Prior to use, make sure that the blade blades are
sharp. If they are blunt, be sure to sharpen them to
avoid overloading the tool.
-! Never operate the scissors without the hand guard.
Wear suitable clothing and work gloves while working
with scissors. Before each use, make sure that the
device is fully functional. The switch and safety switch
must be off. After releasing them, the engine must be
switched off. It is forbidden to work with the device
in case of damage to the switch. Make sure that the
power supply values match the sticker on the device.
- When working with the shears, make sure that they
do not come into contact with foreign objects, such
as wires, fences or plant trunks. This can damage
the bar.
- Switch off the appliance immediately after blocking
the bar blade with a solid object, pull the mains plug
out of the socket and then remove the object. Always
work so that you move away from the socket. There-
fore, before starting work, decide in which direction
you will cut.
- Make sure the cable is out of the area where you
work. Never place the cable through the device where
it can easily get caught in the bar blade. Avoid overlo-
ading the el. tools during work.
Important warning
Take a safe position and hold the scissors with both
hands. If you use a ladder when working, make sure
that it is securely positioned and sufficiently secured
for work at height. Make sure that there are no people
or animals in the cutting area.
Always run the cable behind you, preferably over your
shoulder.
Cutting techniques (D, E)
Trim thick branches before using the device.
The double-sided cutting bar allows cutting in both
directions or by fluctuating action from one side to
the other.
In the case of vertical cutting, move the scissors
evenly up and down in an arc.
In the case of horizontal trimming, move the scissors
in a sickle motion up to the edge of the hedge so that
the cut branches fall to the ground.
To achieve a long straight line, it is recommended to
stretch a taut guide rope.
