Operating the Hedge
Trimmer
Do not use the equipment without
the hand guard. Wear suitable
clothing and work gloves when
working with the equipment.
Ensure that the equipment is
functional before each use. The
On/Off switch and the safety
switch must not be held closed.
They must switch off the motor
when on is released. Should a
switch be damaged, stop working
with the equipment. Ensure that
the mains voltage value matches
the label on the equipment.
Note noise protection and local
specifications.

Switching On and Off

Ensure that you are standing in a
firm position with both hands grip-
ping the hedge trimmer away from
the body. Ensure that the trimmer
is in contact with no other objects
before switching on.
1. For tension relief of the cable,
C
form a loop of the end of the
extension cable and bring this
through the opening at the han-
dle and suspend in the tension
relief at the grip (7).
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
3. Hold the safety switch on the loop
handle (4) and push the On/Off
switch on the grip (6) at the same
time to switch the unit on. The
hedge trimmer will be run at maxi-
mum speed.
4. Release one of the two switches
to switch the trimmer off.
Working with the Electric
Hedge Trimmer
During cutting work, ensure that no
contact is made with objects, e.g.
such as wire fencing or main plant
stems. This may result in damage to
the cutter bar.
• Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
• Always work away from the mains pow-
er outlet. Set the cutting direction before
starting work. Ensure that the power
cable is kept well away from the work-
ing area. Never lay the cable over the
hedge, where it could easily be caught
up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
Pull out the power plug imme-
diately if the cable is damaged,
badly twisted or has been com-
pletely cut through.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables
cutting in both directions or, with a
swinging 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.
