Safety advice

Meaning of symbols

Use eye and ear protection!

Wear protective gloves!

Unplug the connection cable immediately if it has been damaged or cut!

General notes

• The machine is designed exclusively for cutting hedges. Use for purposes other than those intended qualify as improper use. The manufacturer/supplier is not responsible for any damages that result from improper use. The operator is solely responsible for assuming all risks.
• Do not overload the machine as it works better and more safely when operated within the specified range of performance.

Before trimming

• Clear the work surface of any foreign items/bodies.
• Check the hedge for any hidden objects such as wire fencing, etc.

• Check the connector cable and the line attached to the outside of the machine for damage and wear (brittleness). Use these only if they are in perfect condition.

• Check to see that the safety guards are attached. Machines without or having damaged safety guards must not be used!

• Perform a visual inspection to see whether the cutting tool is dull or damaged.
• Replace dull or damaged cutting tools.
• Keep the handgrips clean, dry, and free of oil and grease.
• Never attempt to use a machine that is not fully assembled or one that has been altered in a manner that is not permitted.

While trimming

Do not use the shears in the rain or to trim wet hedges.

The penetration of water into the casing increases the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not use the device in areas where there is danger of fire or explosion.
  Pay attention to what you are doing. Approach the work sensibly. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or are taking any medications.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Clothing or jewellery could be snagged by moving parts.

• Wear only closed-toe shoes and long pants when working.

• Never work barefoot or in sandals.

• Hold the device steady with both hands and operate it only from a stable position.

• Watch out for foreign objects while working!
• Keep your working area tidy. An untidy work area can lead to accidents.
• Ensure that you have sufficient space while working.
• Keep all body parts away from the blade.
• No persons -- especially children -- animals, or objects should be found in the work area.
  Work at a height whereby the blade does not come into contact with the ground.
• Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold on to material that is to be cut while the blade is running.

Attention! Reverse blade

If the blade become jammed by thick branches, for example, the hedge shears must be shut off:

Pull out the power plug.
- Do not touch running blades.
- Remove the cause of the blockage.

• Unplug the power plug from the socket.
• Never use the connector cable to pull the plug out of the socket.
• Once the blades are idle, carry the shears by the hand grips (keeping your hands away from the blades).
• Never carry the device by the connector cable.
  After use, make sure the device is stored in a way that the blades cannot be touched (blade protection).

Cable

Attention! Electric shock through cable damage

If the cable is cut through or damaged, the safety fuse does not always trip.

• Do not touch the cable before the power plug is pulled out of the socket.
• A damaged cable must be completely replaced. Patching the cable with insulating tape is not permitted.

• Avoid bodily contact with grounded parts such as metal fences.

• Repairs to the cable should be performed only by an expert.

• Fasten the connecting cable to the stress relief mechanism. Do not scrape against corners, spikes or sharp objects.

• Do not squeeze the cable between door jams or through windows.

• Keep cable away from the cutting area.

• Switchgears must not be removed or bridged.
• Use only extension cable not lighter than rubber hose, type HO 7 RNF, minimum cross section 3 × 1.5 ~mm^2 , length: max. 25 ~m .
• Cables have to be protected against splashing water.

Maintenance

Attention! Reverse blade

Before all maintenance and cleaning work:

Pull out the power plug.
- Do not touch running blades.

• Do not spray off the device with water. Do not use high pressure cleaning or pressurised steam to clean the device.
• Do not store the hedge shears in humid rooms.

Operation

Times of operation

• Please consult regional/local regulations.
• Inquire about the operating times at your local regulatory agency.

Feed cable through the strain relief B

• Lead the cable into strain relief as indicated (prevents accidental loosening of the plug connector).

Adjust blade head C

In order to ensure the same, ergonomically ideal handling in all cutting situations the blade head has a 5-position latching mechanism .D

1. Press the locking button down.
2. Rotate the blade head into the desired position.
3. Now release the locking button.
4. Check whether the blade head is in place (the hedge shears can only be switched on if the blade head is snapped in).

• Connect the device only to sockets that are protected with a 10-16 Amp. fuse (or LS switch type B)

Note: Residual current protection device

These safeguards provide protection against severe injuries resulting from touching damaged cables, insulation defects and in some cases cables that conduct electricity.

We recommend that the equipment only be plugged into a power socket, which is protected by a residual current protection device (RCD) with a residual current of no more than 30mA .
- Retrofit kits are available for old installations. Consult an electrician

Switching the hedge shears on/off

Make sure that your hands are steady when working above head height.
- Hold the blade away from your body.
- Never place the cable above the hedge where it can easily be caught by the blades.

Motor on E

1. Hold down the safety switch on the bowed handle (1).
2. Press the on/off button on the hand grip (2) at the same time.

Motor off E

• Release one of the two buttons.

Tips for cutting F G H J

• Please observe the brooding season of the birds!
  The ideal hedge cutting form is the trapezoid J, which provides for adequate light and ventilation for all parts of the hedge.
  In order to promote thick growth of young hedges, only half of new shoots should be cut.

• If the hedge has already reached the desired height, new shoots can be completely removed.
  In order to achieve a steady hedge height you can string up a guide wire at the desired height and cut along this wire.
  Cutting seasons:

• Deciduous hedges: May/June and October (cutback to approx. 1/3 of the total height in winter)

• Conifer hedges: April and October
• Conifers: April and October

Maintenance
