alsobeusedinapreliminaryassessmentofexposure.
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
WARNING: The noise emission during actual
use of the power tool can di󰀨er from the declared val-
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety mea-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
o󰀨 and when it is running idle in addition to the

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tionsmayresultinelectricshock,reand/orserious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. Keep all parts of the body away from the cut-
ter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Make sure the switch is o󰀨 when clearing
jammed material. A moment of inattention while
operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious
personalinjury.
2. Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or
storing the hedge trimmer always t the cut-
ting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmerwillreducepossiblepersonalinjuryfrom
thecutterblades.
3. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.Cutter
bladescontactinga"live"wiremaymakeexposed
metalpartsofthepowertool"live"andcouldgive
the operator an electric shock.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operationthecablemaybehiddeninshrubsand
canbeaccidentallycutbytheblade.
5. Do not use the hedge trimmer in the rain or in wet
or very damp conditions. The electric motor is not
waterproof.
6. First-time users should have an experienced
hedge trimmer user show them how to use the
trimmer.
7. Thehedgetrimmermustnotbeusedbychildren
or young persons under 18 years of age. Young
personsover16yearsofagemaybeexempted
from this restriction if they are undergoing training
under the supervision of an expert.
8. Use the hedge trimmer only if you are in good
physical condition. If you are tired, your attention
willbereduced.Beespeciallycarefulattheendof
a working day. Perform all work calmly and care-
fully.Theuserisresponsibleforalldamagesto
third parties.
9. Neverusethetrimmerwhenundertheinuence
of alcohol, drugs or medication.
10. Checktomakesurethatthevoltageandfre-
quencyofthepowersupplycorrespondtothe
specicationsgivenontheidenticationplate.We
recommend the use of a residual-current-operated
circuitbreaker(ground-faultcircuitinterrupter)
with a tripping current of 30 mA or less, or an earth
leakage current protector.
11. Workglovesofstoutleatherarepartofthebasic
equipmentofthehedgetrimmerandmustalways
bewornwhenworkingwithit.Alsowearsturdy
shoes with anti-skid soles.
12.
Before starting work check to make sure that the trim-
mer is in good and safe working order. Ensure guards
arettedproperly.Checkcablefordamagebefore
starting work and replace if necessary. The hedge
trimmermustnotbeusedunlessfullyassembled.
13. Keepcableawayfromthecuttingarea.Alwaysworkin
suchawaythattheextensionpowercordisbehindyou.
14. Removeplugfromthemainsimmediatelyifcable
is damaged or cut.
15. Makesureyouhaveasecurefootingbeforestart-
ing operation.
16. Holdthetoolrmlywhenusingthetool.
17. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
18. Immediatelyswitcho󰀨themotorandunplugthe
mains plug if the cutter should come into contact
withafenceorotherhardobject.Checkthecutter
for damage, and if damaged repair immediately.
19. Before checking the cutter, taking care of faults,
or removing material caught in the cutter, always
switcho󰀨thetrimmerandunplugthemainsplug.
20.
Switcho󰀨thetrimmeranddisconnectandsecurethe
mainsplugbeforedoinganymaintenancework.
21. When moving the hedge trimmer to another loca-
tion, including during work, always unplug the mains
plugandputthebladecoveronthecutterblades.
Never carry or transport the trimmer with the cutter
running. Never grasp the cutter with your hands.
22. Cleanthehedgetrimmerandespeciallythecut-
terafteruse,andbeforeputtingthetrimmerinto
storage for extended periods. Lightly oil the cutter
and put on the cover. The cover supplied with the
unitcanbehungonthewall,providingasafeand
practical way to store the hedge trimmer.
23. Store the hedge trimmer with the cover on, in a dry
room. Keep it out of reach of children. Never store
the trimmer outdoors.
24.
Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
25. Never point the shear blades to yourself or others.
26. If the blades stop moving due to the stuck of
foreign objects between the blades during
operation, switch o󰀨 the tool and unplug
the mains plug, and then remove the foreign
objects using tools such as pliers. Removing
theforeignobjectsbyhandmaycauseaninjury
forthereasonthatthebladesmaymoveinreac-
tiontoremovingtheforeignobjects.
27. Avoid dangerous environment. Don't use the
tool in damp or wet locations or expose it to
rain. Water entering the tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
28. Check the hedges and bushes for foreign
objects, such as wire fences or hidden wiring
before operating the tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or famil-
iarity with product (gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to safety
rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Alwaysbesurethatthetoolisswitchedo󰀨and
unpluggedbeforecarryingoutanyworkonthe
tool.
Engage the extension cord
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the extension cord is unplugged
to the mains outlet.
►Fig.5: 1. Hook complete 2. Extension cord 3. Tool's
cord
When engaging the extension cord, secure it to the
tool's cord with the hook complete. Attach the hook
about100-200mmfromtheextensioncordconnector.
This will help prevent unintentional disconnection.
Waist cord hook
CAUTION:
• Do not attach the holder of waist cord hook to
other than the extension cord. Do not attach it
inapositionclosertothetoolbeyondthehook
complete. Failure to do so may cause an acci-
dentorpersonalinjury.
• Attachrmlyonehookofthehookcompleteto
the tool's cord and the other hook of hook com-
plete to the extension cord. Working with the
tool with a sole hook only attached may cause
anaccidentandinjury.
Using the waist cord hook helps to minimizing a risk of
cuttingo󰀨theextensioncordunexpectedlycausedby
the loose extension cord.

NOTE:
• Do not pass the extension cord through the
band.
• Do not force the opening of the holder. Failure to
dosomaycausedeectionanddamagetoit.
• Using the arm cord hook together with the waist
cord hook is more helpful.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal
fenceorotherhardobjectswhiletrimming.The
bladewillbreakandmaycauseseriousinjury.
• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly
from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not
workfromanythingwobblyorinrm.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to cut branches thicker
than 10 mm in diameter with the tool.Cutbranches
to10cmlowerthanthecuttingheightusingbranch
cuttersbeforeusingthetool.
►Fig.9: (1)Cuttingheight(2) 10 cm
CAUTION:
• Donotcuto󰀨deadtreesorsimilarhardobjects.
Failure to do so may damage the tool.
Holdthetrimmerwithbothhandspulltheswitchtrigger

►Fig.10
Asabasicoperation,tiltthebladestowardsthetrim-
ming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the
speed rate of 3 - 4 seconds per meter.
►Fig.11: 1. Trimming direction 2.Tilttheblades
3.Hedgesurfacetobetrimmed
To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the
desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a
reference line.
