OVERVIEW

Before using the tool, please insert the battery pack to the machine. Always use the correct
battery pack.
To turn on the machine, push down the Front switch-handle (4) and Back switch-handle (5)
at the same time.
Releasing either of the two switch-handles will bring the machine to a sudden stop, in which
case you may see sparking from from the ventilation slot. Do not worry as this is a normal
phenomenon and will not damage the machine. You will probably notice a burning smell
coming from the motor; again, do not worry, as this is the electrical brake which will always
generate a little smoke.
After use, store the machine with the blade covered throughout.
Change the blade
Check the blade periodically; if damaged, please change immediately.
Have the blade changed by an authorised service workshop.
General information
If older hedges need to be cut back a substantial amount, use pruning shears to trim thicker
branches to the desired length before going to work with the hedge trimmer. Ensure that
the blade does not come into contact with anything that could damage it, such as fencing
wire or metal plant supports.
Native hardwoods should not be cut with a hedge trimmer, as they will damage the blade.
The hedge trimmer is designed to cut soft new growth and should only be used to cut such
materials.
OPERATION

Always remove the plug from the main socket before carrying out any work on the machine
and before cleaning.
The appliance is maintenance-free. If damage is found, the appliance may only be repaired
by an authorised service workshop for electric tools.
