Caution! This hedge trimmer is designed to cut hedges, bushes and shrubs. Any other use which is not expressly permitted in these instructions may cause damage to the hedge trimmer and place the user at serious risk. Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-hand safety circuit. This means that it works only when the switch button on the guide handle (Figure 1 / Item 3) is pressed with the one hand while the switch on the handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is being pressed with the other hand. If you let go of either switching element, the blades will stop moving.

The blades take time to slow down to a standstill. Please make allowance.

• Check that the blades are working properly. High cutting performance and smooth operation are guaranteed by the counter-rotating, dual-edge blades.
• Fasten the extension cable in the corresponding cable holder (see Figure 4) each time before you use the hedge trimmer.
• Use only approved extension cables for outdoor use.

• Cut the sides of the hedge with sweeping movements from the bottom up (see Figure 8).

9. Maintenance and cleaning

• Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its power plug before you put it down and clean it.
