5. Before U e
Safety Guard (Fig. 1)
Fit the enclosed safety guard in the slot on the
hedgetrimmer. The safety shield prevents
touching the blades during operation. Hold tool
with both hands!
Power connection
The machine can only be connected to a single-
phase a.c. current connection. The machine is
protectively insulated in accordance with classi-
fication II of VDE 0740 and can therefore be connected
to sockets without earth connections. Before using
the machine ensure that the mains current agrees
with the operating voltage data on the machine’s
identification plate.
Power Circuit Breaker
Machine which will be u ed in different
out ide location mu t be connected to a
Power Circuit Breaker.

Securing the exten ion lead (Fig. 2)
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.
ecure the equipment flex to the extension lead
by inserting the extension lead into the strain relief
gap of the housing.
Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the
performance of the machine.
6. In truction for U e of the Equipment
Do not u e the trimmer in rain or for cutting
wet hedge !

7. Switching on/off the hedge hear
Please be sure to stand safely when you switch
the hedge shears on. This hedge shears have a
2-hand safety switch. To switch the device on
both switches A and B (Fig. 1) must be pushed
and held fast. To switch the device off release
both switches. The motor is already turned off if
one of the two switches is released.
8. Maintenance
Alway di connect the plug from the
power ocket before commencing any
work on the machine.
Important: Always clean and oil the blades after
prolonged 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. 3).
Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do
not require resharpening if used correctly.
Changing the blades
Only 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
U e (Fig. 4)
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes
and hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedge
- 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.
- ides 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 pecial feature two-hand afety witch,
quick blade top, protective cover, blade
afety rail and impact protector are fitted to
provide the hedge trimmer with optimum
afety feature .
a) Two-hand safety switch (Fig. 1)
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 depressed. As soon as one of the
switches is released, the trimmer blades will stop
immediately.
b) Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade
will stop in max. 0.5 sec. when one of the two
switches is released.
c) Blade safety rail (Fig. 5+6)
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 cutting blades will stop
immediately.
d) Impact protector (Fig. 5)
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 feature
If 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 fitted with an overload cut-
out, which protects the gears against mechanical
damage in the event of blade jams.
11. Storing the Trimmer after U e
The hedge hear mu t be tored uch
that there i no danger of injurie being
cau ed to per on by the cutting blade !
Important: After each time the shears have been
used, the cutting blades should be cleaned and
lubricated. This will considerably increase the
service life of the device. Please use a lubricator
that is not harmful to the environment , e. g. our
service spray. Then put the shears in their case
with the cutting blades first.
