Preparatory actions for operation
Use working tools appropriate for the work to be carried out. Ensure that they are in good condition, sharpened, free from rust
and mechanical damage. The parts of the attachments in contact with the drive unit must be free of mechanical impurities and
lubricated with gear grease before use. Wear work clothing, gloves and eye protection. Check the hedge for foreign objects, for
example, wires.
USING THE TOOL
Before starting work, check that the housing body is not damaged. If necessary, clean the tool of dirt and clean the motor ventila-
tion openings. It is forbidden to proceed with work in case of observing damage! Do not expose the tool to moisture. Do not use
the hedge shears during precipitation. Do not use the hedge shears in a humid and wet environment. Before using the tool, it is
recommended to ask your dealer or specialist to demonstrate how to use the tool safely and eff ectively. Do not allow children and
minors to use the tool. Do not rent or lease the tool to any third party unless you have provided them with this manual. Make sure
that each person using the tool has read the manual carefully and understood all the information contained there. Do not modify
the tool in any way. Do not use the hedge shears in the immediate vicinity of bystanders, children or animals. It is recommended to
keep at least a 5 m distance from the place where the tool is used. Wear individual hearing protection measures during operation.
Do not turn on the hedge shears if the operator's hands and feet are in close proximity to the tool's cutting part. Never leave the
tool without adult supervision. If during work the operation of the tool seems suspicious (increased vibration, noise, odour, etc.), it
should be immediately turned off and handed over to a repair centre. The tool must be regularly maintained and kept clean. The
motor ventilation openings must be kept clear at all times. Read the instructions manual carefully. Familiarise yourself with the con-
trols and the correct use of the machine. Never allow children or persons who have not read these instructions to use the machine.
Local regulations may restrict the operator's age. The device must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, including persons without experience or knowledge of how to use the device safely. Bear in mind
that the operator or the user is responsible for accidents and hazards to other people or their properties. Wear eye protection, full
protective footwear and long pants protecting the operator's legs during work. Avoid using the tool during bad weather, especially
when there is a risk of lightning. Work only in daylight or in good artifi cial lighting. Never use the tool with damaged guards or
without properly installed guards. The tool's motor should only be turned on when the cutting element is away from the operator's
hands and feet. Take measures to prevent injuries to hands and feet from the cutting element.
Turning the tool on and off
The tool has a power switch lock to reduce the risk of the accidental turn-on. To start the motor, slide the lock button with your
thumb and press the power switch button (X) with your index fi nger while holding the lock button. When holding the power switch,
release the pressure on the lock button. To turn off the tool's motor, simply release the pressure of the index fi nger on the power
switch button. The cutting element may still be in motion for some time after turning off the tool.
In the case of the tool model 79503 with the additional holder installed, the power switch and the lock located on the grip of the
additional holder should be used for activation. The power switch and lock are operated in the same way as the handle of the
tool itself (XI).
The power switch of both the tool handle and the additional holder grip cannot be locked in the on position.
Grass trimming
Grass can only be trimmed with a dedicated attachment. Observe the following rules when trimming the grass: Guide the shears
in such a way that the cutting part is not between the hand holding the tool and the operator's torso. Pay particular attention that
the operator's hands and feet are not in close proximity to the cutting parts of the tool. Grasses higher than 15 – 20 cm should be
cut in two stages, initially in the upper part, and then in the lower part (closer to the soil). The shears are not designed for mowing
larger areas of grass over 2 m . When cutting grass, make sure that the cutting parts do not directly touch the soil, stones, lignifi ed
