Additional information for electric power tools

Warning!

The specified vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.

The specified vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.

The specified vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful effect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

●Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
●Service and clean the appliance regularly.
●Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
●Do not overload the appliance.
●Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
●Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
●Wear protective gloves.

Residual risks

Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment's construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Warning! The electric power tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. Under certain circumstances this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

6. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.

Fitting the hand guard (Fig. 3a-3b)

Attach the hand guard (Fig. 3a/Item 2) in the direction of the arrow as shown in Figure 3a. Then secure with the two screws (Fig. 3b/Item 8).

7. Operation

The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-handed safety switch. The machine works only when the switch on the steady grip (Fig. 4/Item A) is pressed with one hand and the switch on the handle (Fig. 4/Item B) is pressed with the other hand.

Releasing any of the switches will bring the hedge trimmer to a stop.

In so doing, please check the running of the blades.

• Please check that the blades function correctly. The blades cut on both sides and run in opposite directions to each other, for guaranteed high cutting performance and quiet operation.
  ●Fasten the extension cable to the cable holder before starting to use the machine (see Fig. 4).
  ●For use in the open air you must only use extension cables certified for the purpose.

Tips on use

●The hedge trimmer can be used not only for trimming hedges but for trimming shrubs and bushes as well.

GB

• For optimum trimming performance, guide the blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15^ to the hedge (see Fig. 5).
• Since the blades cut on both sides and run in opposite directions to each other, you can trim in both directions (see Fig. 6).
• It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches which protrude beyond the guide line (see Figure 7). Ensure that the blades do not come into contact with the string.
  ●The sides of the hedge should be trimmed with arc-type movements from below upwards (see Fig. 8).

Electric brake

For safety reasons, the equipment is supplied with an electric brake system that stops the cutting blades as quickly as possible after the equipment has been switched off. The equipment may therefore emit an odor or generate sparks when it is switched off. This has no influence on the future operational performance or safety of the equipment. Please avoid switching the equipment on and off more often than necessary.

8. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

9. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

9.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.

Never place any electric tools in your household refuse.

To comply with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning old electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in national laws, old electric tools have to be separated from other waste and disposed of in an environment-friendly fashion, e.g. by taking to a recycling depot.

Recycling alternative to the demand to return electrical devices:

As an alternative to returning the electrical device, the owner is obliged to cooperate in ensuring that the device is properly recycled if ownership is relinquished. This can also be done by handing over the used device to a returns center, which will dispose of it in accordance with national commercial and industrial waste management legislation. This does not apply to the accessories and auxiliary equipment without any electrical components which are included with the used device.
