Attention: Danger! Rotating machinery.
8.  The  hedge  trimmer  should  always  be  held  with  both hands.
9.  Before  using  the  equipment  clear  the  working  area  of  any  foreign  objects  and  be  aware  of 
foreign objects during operation of the machine!  
If  the  machine  becomes  jammed  e.g.  by  thick 
branches,  switch  off  and  disconnect  the  ma-
chine from the mains socket before investigating 
and rectifying the cause of the jam.  Take special 
care when switching the machine on again.
10.  Check the fl ex and all connections for any visible  faults  before  using  the  machine  (plug  discon-
nected). Do not use a faulty fl ex.
11.  Keep the fl ex away from the cutting area.
12.  Do not use the trimmer in wet weather  and do not  use  it  to  cut  wet  hedges.Do  not  wash  down  the 
device  with  water.  Do  not  use  any  high-pressure 
cleaning devices or steam jet devices for cleaning.
13.  Carry  the  trimmer  by  the  handles  provided  and  keep hands away from the cutting blades.
14.  In line with agricultural Trade Association Regu- lations only persons over the age of 17 may work 
on their own with electric hedge trimmers. Use is 
permitted for persons over 16 years if the work is 
carried out under the supervision of adults.
15.  We  would  recommend  that  safety  clothing  is  worn  during  the  work  and  that  eyes,  ears,  hair, 
hands  and  feet  are  fully  protected.  Protective 
gloves should also be worn.
16.  Ensure  that  the  motor  of  your  hedge  shears  can  not  be  switched  on  by  mistake  when  you  put  it 
down after work or when you are going to clean the 
device. Never forget to unplug the mains supply!
17.  Check  the  cutting  unit  regularly  for  damage  and  if  damage  is  discovered,  the  cutting  unit  should 
be properly repaired.
18.  Be  aware  of  your  responsibility  as  user  towards  third parties in the working area.
19.  The trimmer must be properly checked and serv- iced. If the blades get damaged  they should only 
be  exchanged  in  pairs.  In  the  event  of  damage 
from impact, specialist’s inspection is essential.
20.  Only  use  extension  cords  that  are  approved  for  outdoor  use  and  that  are  not  lighter  than  rubber 
tube  cords  type  H07  RN-F  according  to  DIN/VDE 
0282 with a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
2. They must 
be  water  spray  protected.  Damaged  cables  of  this 
unit  are  only  to  be  replaced  by  a  service  station 
designated  by  the  manufacturer  as  special  tools 
are  necessary.  Equipment  which  will  be  used  in 
different  outside  locations  should  be  connected 
via residual current - operated current breakers.
21.  Do  not  use  the  cable  for  purposes  it  has  not  been designed for. Never carry a power tool at its 
cable.  Do    not  pull  out  the  plug  from  the  socket 
using the cable.  Protect the  cable from heat, oil 
and sharp edges.
22.  Ensure  that  the  equipment  is  stored  safely  af- ter  use  in  such  a  way  that  the  blade  cannot  be 
touched.
23.  When  using  the  equipment,  hold  it  securely  with 
both hands, stand fi rmly and ensure that you have 
suffi cient    working    space.    There  should  be  no 
people, animals or objects within the working area. 
Select    the  cutting  height  so  that  the  blade  does 
not  make  contact  with  the  ground  and  you  can 
operate the equipment from a secure position.
24.  Take care when transporting the equipment (only  with blade cover!). 
25.  For initial use of the hedge trimmer we would rec-
ommend that in addition to reading the operating 
instructions,  you  also  seek  a  practical  demon-
stration from an expert.
26.  Always  ensure  that  all  protective  devices  and  handles  are  properly  fi tted.  Never  attempt  to  use 
an incomplete machine.
27.  Never  try to use an incomplete tool or a tool that has  been modifi ed in a way that has not been approved.
28.  Do not allow children to use a power tool.
29.  The  use  of  the  hedge  trimmer  is  to  be  avoided  if 
other  persons,  above  all  children,  are  within  the 
working area.
30.  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.
33.  Have  your  power  tools repaired by an appro-priate- ly qualifi ed electrician only. This power tool 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
Mounting the bow-type handle  (Fig. 1)
If  there are screws fi xed to the mounting points, remove these 
fi rst. Then,  remove  the  shear  protector  and  put  the  bow-type 
handle  from  the  front  (as  shown  in  Fig.  1)  over  the  shearing 
system, and put it into the relief of the hedge shears’ housing. 
(If necessary, pull the lower ends of the handle slightly apart.) 
Take care that you do not squeeze the two parts of the bow-
type  handle.To  fasten    the    bow-type  handle  screw    the    two 
included  screws through  the  openings in  the  handle into the 
threaded holes of  the  housing  and  fasten  them  tightly. 
Protection shield  (Fig. 2)
If  screws  are  fastened  to  the  bottom  plate,  remove  these. 
Fasten the hand protector with the two included screws to 
the bottom plate.
 
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.  Before  using the  machine  ensure  that  the  mains  current  agrees  with  the operating voltage data on the machine’s identifi cation plate.
Power Circuit Breaker:Machines which will be used in different outside loca-    
						

							
GB-3
tions must be connected to a Power Circuit Breaker.
Securing the power supply cable (Fig. 5)Only  use  cables  (extension  fl ex)  that  are  approved  for outdoor use. The cable diameter must be equal to or bigger than 1.5mm² for cable lengths up to 75m.
Extension  fl exes  with  a  length  of  more  than  30m  reduce 
the machine’s output.
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 the hedge shears on/off (Fig.3) 
When  switching  the  hedge  shears  on  take  a  safe  stand. 
These  hedge  shears  have  a  two-hand  safety  switch.  To 
switch  the  hedge  shears  on  the  bar  switch  in  the  handle 
(A)  and  the  grip  switch  of  the  bow-type  handle  (B)  must 
be  pushed  down.
  To  switch  the  device  off  let  go  of  both 
switches. The motor already stops if one of the two switches 
is released.   
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. Clean the shearing blades 
with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt – with a brush. 
Attention:  Danger  of  injury!
Oiling  of  the  blades  should ideally  be  carried  out  using  an  environmentally  friendly lubricant (Fig. 6).
Sharpening of the bladesThe  blades  generally  do  not  need  servicing  and  do  not require resharpening if used correctly. In order to prevent injuries caused by the blades when not in use, the sharp-ened cutting blade should be covered by the blade cover (Fig.  4).  The  blades  cannot  be  sharpened  by  the  user without  opening  the  equipment  and  the  safety  mecha-nism.  Resharpening  of  the  blades  can  therefore  only  be carried out at a specialist workshop.
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 therefore only be carried out at a specialist workshop. 
9.  Holding the hedge trimmer when in use (Fig. 7)
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 move ment.
-  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.
Expanded  working  height:  If  you  want    to  reach  higher  or  if you to above your head’s height (see Fig. 8), you should  take care of the following:
Attention : Take care to have a secure and safe standing 
position  when  working  with  your  hedge  shears  in  order 
to  avoid  slipping  and  injury.  Always  keep  the  shearing 
blades away from your body.
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 trim-mer 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. 3)To  switch  on  the  hedge  trimmer  one  of  the  switch  bars on the hand grip (A or B) and the switch on the bow-type handle  (C)  must  be  held  down.  If  one  of  the  switches is  released,  the  shearing    blades  will  stop  after  ca.  0.2 seconds. 
Quick blade stopIn order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will stop in max. 0.2 sec. when one of the two switches is released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 4)The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduces the  risk  of  injuries  due  to  unintentional  body  contact.  As soon  as  the  hedge  trimmer  is  switched  off,  the  sharp  cut-ting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly under the  cover  rail  in  order  to  reduce  the  risk  of  injuries  during transport.
Impact protector (Fig. 9)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  objecst  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  cutout, which protects the gears against mechanical damage in the event of blade jams.

Storing the trimmer after useThe  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.
