General safety instructions
for power tools
WARNING! Read all safety
directions and instructions.
Omissions in the compliance with
safety directions and instructions
can cause electrical shock,  re
and/or severe injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term “Power Tools” used in the safety
instructions refers to mains-operated power
tools (with power cord) and to battery-op-
erated power tools (without power cord).

Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite ac-
cidents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of ammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
• Children must never use the hedge
trimmer.
Electrical safety
Caution: This is how to avoid ac-
cidents and injuries by an electric
shock:
• Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodi-
ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an in-
creased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pull-
ing or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Where possible, connect the equip-
ment only to a plug socket with a leak-
age-current-operated circuit breaker
(FI switch), with a rated current of not
more than 30 mA.
• If the power cable for this equipment is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, a customer service agent
of the same or a similarly qualied per-
son in order to prevent hazards.
Personal safety
Caution: This is how to avoid acci-
dents and injuries:
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention white
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

10
GB IE NI CY
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce per-
sonal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-
position before connecting to
power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the pow-
er tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, because the cutter
blade may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation. •
Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
• Carefully inspect the surface to be cut,
and remove all wires and other foreign
bodies.
• Check the appliance before each use
for obvious defects such as loose, worn

11
CY
NI
IEGB
or damaged parts. Check the appli-
ance for signicant damage or defects
if it is dropped.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced
by a qualied repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.

Cutting Techniques
• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swing-
ing 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
allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During
cutting, only the new annual growths are
reduced and thus a dense branching and
a good screen will develop.
1. Cut the sides of a hedge rst. To do
this, move the hedge trimmer in the di-
rection of growth from bottom to top. If
you cut down from the top, the thinner
branches will move out, which may
result in some areas having sparse
growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste,
in a at shape, roof shape or rounded
shape
3. Trim young plants to the required
shape. The main growth should re-
main undamaged until the hedge has
reached the planned height. All other
shoots are lopped off to half size.
Care of Free-Growing Hedges:
Free-growing hedges are not shaped when
cut, although they must be regularly main-
tained so the hedge does not become too
high.
Working Safely
• Do not use the high pruning saw when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Long use of the equipment can result in
vibration-related circulatory disorders
in the hands. However, the length of
use can be extended by using suitable
gloves or taking regular breaks. Note
that a personal tendency for poor cir-
culation, low outdoor temperatures, or
high gripping forces during work will
reduce the length of use.

• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the se-
cure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar.
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices for
damage and correct seating. Replace
these where necessary.
