RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards:

a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear protection.
c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.

General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING! Read all safety directions and instructions.

Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term "Power Tools" used in the safety instructions refers to mains-operated power tools (with power cord) and to battery-operated power tools (without power cord).

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If dust extraction and collection devices can be installed, make sure that these are connected and used correctly. Using a dust collector can reduce hazards caused by dust.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety instructions

a) If possible, connect the device only to a socket with a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) with a tripping current of not more than 30mA .

b) If replacement of the connecting cable becomes necessary, this is to be carried out by the manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid safety risks.

c) Hold the electric tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces, as the saw chain may come into contact with concealed power lines. Contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metal parts of the appliance and result in an electric shock.

d) Carefully inspect the surface to be cut, and remove all wires and other foreign bodies.

e) Check the appliance before each use for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check the appliance for significant damage or defects if it is dropped.

f) Keep the cable away from the cutting area. The cable may be covered by vegetation during work and accidentally be severed.

g) Keep all body parts away from the blade. Do not attempt to remove clippings or to hold onto material to be cut when the blade is running. Only remove jammed trimmings when the device is shut off. Remove the plug from the mains socket. A moment of inattention when using the trimmer can result in serious injuries.

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.

• To avoid eye injuries, always wear the supplied safety goggles while working with the hedge trimmer (A 22).
  Always hold the equipment firmly in both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the other on the front handle (A 13). Thumbs and fingers must be firmly around the handles.
• Check the shoulder strap (A 19) on a pleasant position, which makes it easier for you to hold the hedge trimmer.
• Switch off the equipment immediately 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 power outlet. Set the cutting direction before starting work. Ensure that the power cable is kept well away from the working area. Never lay the cable over the hedge, where it could easily be caught up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment during work.

Pull out the power plug immediately if the cable is damaged, badly twisted or has been completely cut through.

Putting down the device

• Place the device on the ground with the motor housing first.
  The safety cutter bar ( A 1) must be placed on the ground without being subjected to any pressure.
• Do not apply any static pressure whatsoever to the cutter bar (A 1).

Swivelling the Arm

Caution! gear box ( A 2) becomes hot during operation. There is a risk of burns. Do not touch the gearbox housing (A 2) or the connecting point to the front tubular shaft (A 6).

1. Release the indexing by pushing the safety slide (14) forward.
2. The tubular shank can now optionally be turned 45^ / 90^ to the right or the left (see the scale on the device).

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.
  In case of horizontal cutting, move the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped movement to the edge of the hedge, so that cut branches fall to the ground.
  In order to achieve long straight lines, the placing of tensioned guiding cords is recommended.

Cutting Shaped Hedges:

It is recommended that hedges be cut in a trapezoidal shape, in order to prevent stripping off of the lower branches. This corresponds to the natural plant growth and allows the hedge to thrive optimally. During cutting, only the new annual growths are reduced and thus a dense branching and a good screen will develop.

1. Cut the sides of a hedge first. To do this, move the hedge trimmer in the direction of growth from bottom to top. If you cut down from the top, the thinner branches will move out, which may result in some areas having sparse growth or holes.
2. Cut the top edge, according to taste, in a flat shape, roof shape or rounded shape
3. Trim young plants to the required shape. The main growth should remain undamaged until the hedge has reached the planned height. All other shoots are lopped off to half size.

Care of Free-Growing Hedges:

Free-growing hedges are not shaped when cut, although they must be regularly maintained so the hedge does not become too high.

Working Safely

Please also observe the illustrations on page 4 on how to use the hedge trimmer.

• Do not use the high pruning saw when standing on a ladder or in an unsafe position.

• Do not be tempted to make unconsidered cuts. Doing so may endanger both yourself and others.
  Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the equipment.

• Long use of the equipment can result in vibration-related circulatory disorders in the hands. However, the length of use can be extended by using suitable gloves or taking regular breaks. Note that a personal tendency for poor circulation, low outdoor temperatures, or high gripping forces during work will reduce the length of use.

Maintenance/ Cleaning

Repair and servicing work not described in this manual should always be carried by our Service Centre. Use only original parts.

Pull out the power plug before carrying out any work on the equipment.

Wear gloves while handling the blades.

Carry out the following maintenance and cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee a long and reliable service life.

Before each use, check the hedge trimmer for obvious defects such as loose, worn or damaged parts. Check the secure seating of the bolts in the cutter bar.

• Do not use the unit if the blades are blunt or worn. This will overstress the motor and gearbox of the machine.

• Check coverings and safety devices for damage and correct seating. Replace these where necessary.

• Keep the ventilation slots and motor housing of the device clean. Use a damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do not wash down the equipment with water, or submerge it in water.

• Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents. These could cause irreparable

damage to the equipment. Chemical substances can attack the plastic parts of the equipment.

• Clean the cutter bar carefully after

each use. Wipe it off with an oily cloth or spray it with a metal protective spray.

• Keep the hedge trim - Overhatchers dry and covered with the blade protection supplied and out of reach of children.
