Familiarize yourself with the working area and pay attention to possible dangers which you might not be able to hear due to the noise of the machine.31.  Always  pay  attention.  Take  care  of  what  you  do.  Do your work sensibly. Do not use a power tool if 
you cannot concentrate.
32.  ATTENTION  !    Only use the accessories or attach- ments  shown  in  the  Operating  Instructions.  The 
use  of  other  add-on  tools  and  accessories  may 
set up the risk of injury for you.

complies  with  the  applicable  safety  regulations. 
Repairs    must    only    be  carried  out  by  qualifi ed 
electricians  using  original  spare  parts;  otherwise, 
accidents may occur to the user.
5. Before use                                                            
Safety Guard (Fig. 2)Push the supplied hand guard (3) over the blades and fi x securely with each 2 screws on both sides of the housing according  to  fi g.  2.  The  safety  shield  prevents  touching the blades during operation. Hold tool with both hands!
Power connectionThe  machine  can  only  be  connected  to  a  single-phase  a.c. current  connection.  The  machine  is  protectively  insulated  in accordance  with  classifi cation  II  of  VDE  0740.

Power Circuit BreakerMachines  which  will  be  used  in  different  outside  loca-tions must be connected to a Power Circuit Breaker.
Securing the extension lead  (Fig. 3)Only  use  extension  leads  suitable  for  outside  use.  The cross  section  of  the  wire  (max.  length  of  extension  cord: 75m)  must  be  at  least  1,5  mm². Secure  the  connection     
						

							
GB-3
between  the  device’s  power  cord  and  the  extension  cable 
by  leading  the  extension  cable  through  the  strain  relief  in 
the housing (Fig. 3).
Extension  leads  longer  than  30  m  will  reduce  the  perfor-mance of the machine.
6. Instructions for use of the equipment  
Do not use the trimmer in rain or for cutting wet hedges!
Check  the  hedge  trimmer  fl ex  and  its  connections before each and every use for visible signs of damage (disconnect the power plug)!  Do not use a faulty fl ex.
Gloves:Protective gloves must be worn when using the hedge trimmer.
7. Switching on/off
The hedge trimmer is switched on by concurrently pushing 
the  rear  switch  lever  and  the  shackle-type  switch  at  the 
front handle (Fig. 4). To switch the device off let go of the 
two switches.
8. Maintenance
Always  disconnect  the  plug  from  the  power  socket before commencing any work on the machine.
Important:  Always  clean  and  oil  the  blades  after  pro-longed  use  of  the  hedge  trimmer.  This  will  greatly  affect the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units must be properly repaired immediately.Oiling of the blades should ideally be carried out using an environmentally friendly lubricant (Fig. 5).
Sharpening of the bladesThe  blades  generally  do  not  need  servicing  and  do  not require resharpening if used correctly.
Changing the bladesOnly correct installation of the blades will guarantee problem-free operation and function of the above mentioned safety feature of the blades. Changing of the blades should there-fore only be carried out at a specialist workshop. 
9.  Holding the hedge trimmer when in use (Fig. 6)            
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and 
hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges-  Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.-  Older  and  stronger  hedges  are  best  cut  in  a  sawing movement.-   Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer, should be cut with a saw.-  Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
In order to achieve an even height-  Fix a guide line at the required height.-  Cut evenly over this guide line.
10. Optimum safety  
The  5  special  features  two-hand  safety  switch,  quick blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail and impact protector  are  fi tted  to  provide  the  hedge  trimmer  with optimum safety features.
Attention!
If  you  fi nd  out  that  safety  functions,  such  as  the 
2-switch  mechanism  or  the  safety  stop,  are  not 
functioning  while  working  with  the  hedge  shears, 
immediately  cease  working  and  take  the  machine 
to a specialised shop for repairing.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 4)To  switch  on  and  to  run  the  hedge  trimmer  you  need both hands: The switching bar in the rear handle as well as  the  switch  in  the  front  handle  must  be  de-pressed. As soon as one of the switches is released, the trimmer blades will stop immediately.
Quick blade stopIn order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will stop in max. 0.5 sec. when one of the two switches is released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 7)The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-es  the  risk  of  injuries  due  to  unintentional  body  contact. As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp cutting blades will stop immediately.
Impact protector (Fig. 1)The  extended  guide  rail  prevents  unpleasant  shocks (blade  recoil)  being  transmitted  to  the  operator  due  to impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
Gear protection featureIf  solid  objects  are  caught  in  the  cutting  blade  and  jam the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the power  plug  from  the  power  socket,  remove  the  object and continue with the work.The  equipment  is  also  fi tted  with  an  overload  cut-out, which protects the gears against mechanical damage in the event of blade jams. 
11. Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the cutting blades!Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned after each use.(see also Section 8. Maintenance).This will considerably increase the service life of the device. Please use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environ-ment , e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case with the cutting blades fi rst.
12.Environmental protection
If  your  hedge  shears  should  one  day  have  been  used  in 
such  an  intensive  way  that  they  must  be  replaced  or  if  you 
do  not  use  them  any  longer  please  do  not  forget  about 
the  protection  of  our  environment.  Electric  devices,  their 
accessories  and  packaging  must  not  be  disposed  of  over 
the  usual  household  rubbish,  but  should  be  subject  to 
environmentally friendly recycling processes in accordance 
with the appropriate local regulations.
