Switching On and Off
1. For tension relief of the cable,
form a loop of the end of the
extension cable and bring this
through the opening at the han-
dle (2) and suspend in the ten-
sion relief at the grip (4).
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
Ensure that you are standing in a
firm position with both hands grip-
ping the hedge trimmer away from
the body. Ensure that the trimmer
is in contact with no other objects
before switching on.
3. Hold the safety switch on the
loop handle (6) and push the
On/Off switch on the grip (3) at
the same time to switch the unit
on. The hedge trimmer will be
run at maximum speed.
4. Release one of the two switches
to switch the trimmer off.
The braking effect can cause the
formation of sparks in the area
of the top ventilation slits. This is
normal and harmless to the equip-
ment.
Working with the Electric
Hedge Trimmer
During cutting work, ensure that no
contact is made with objects, e.g.
such as wire fencing or main plant
stems. This may result in damage
to the cutter bar.
•
Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
•
Always work away from the mains
power outlet. Set the cutting direction
before starting work. Ensure that the
power cable is kept well away from
the working area. Never lay the cable
over the hedge, where it could easily
be caught up in the trimmer blades.
•
Avoid overstraining the equipment
during work.
Pull out the power plug im-
mediately if the cable is dam-
aged, badly twisted or has been
completely cut through. There
is a risk of injury from electric
shock.
Cutting Techniques
•
Cut thick branches beforehand using
a branch clippers.
•
The double-sided cutter bar enables
cutting in both directions or, with a
swinging action, from one side to the
other.
•
In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
•
In case of horizontal cutting, move
the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped
movement to the edge of the hedge,
so that cut branches fall to the ground.
•
In order to achieve long straight lines,
the placing of tensioned guiding cords
is recommended.
Cutting Shaped Hedges:
It is recommended that hedges
be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in
order to prevent stripping off of the
lower branches. This corresponds
to the natural plant growth and al-
