Frequently Asked Questions - GTHS 565 Güde

How to start the GTHS 565 hedge trimmer?

Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the off position. Plug the power cable into a 230V socket. Press the safety button (safety switch) and then the ON/OFF trigger to start. Release the trigger to stop; the blades continue to rotate by inertia for a few moments.

How to clean and maintain the blades after use?

Always unplug the device before any maintenance. Clean the blades with a soft brush to remove plant residues. Lightly oil the cutting bar with a suitable lubricating oil for garden tools. Store the device with the blade sheath in place.

What to do if the blades jam during use?

Immediately release the trigger and unplug the device. Wait for the blades to stop completely. Carefully remove the blocking object using a non-metallic tool. Never attempt to remove a blockage while the blades are moving. Check that the cutting bar is not damaged.

What type of oil to use for the blades?

Use a light lubricating oil, such as motor oil or special garden tool oil (e.g., vaseline oil or universal oil). Apply a few drops to the edge of the blades after cleaning. Avoid thick or heavy oils.

Can I use an extension cord with the device?

Yes, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use, with a minimum cross-section of 1.5 mm². The extension cord must be fully unwound to avoid overheating. Preferably use an extension cord with a residual current device (RCD 30mA).

How to replace a damaged power cable?

Replacement of the power cable must be carried out exclusively by an approved after-sales service or a qualified electrician, using an original cable. Never attempt to repair the cable yourself, as this poses a risk of electric shock.

How to store the hedge trimmer after use?

Unplug the device, clean it and lightly oil the blades. Put the blade sheath back in place. Store the device in a dry place, protected from moisture and out of reach of children. Avoid pinching the cable.

What to do in case of excessive vibrations during use?

Immediately stop the device and unplug it. Check that the cutting bar is not damaged or loose. If the blades are dull or unbalanced, have them sharpened by a professional. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Where to find spare parts for the GTHS 565?

Original spare parts are available from the Güde after-sales service ([e-mail]) or via the website www.guide.com. For any order, have the serial number and order number (93995) from the nameplate ready.

What is the warranty for the GTHS 565 hedge trimmer?

The warranty is 24 months for domestic use (end consumer) and 12 months for professional use. The period starts from the date of purchase, and the original proof of purchase is required for any claim.

General Power Tool SafetyWarnings

Warning

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cordepower tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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 (groundpower 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 (RCprotected 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 while 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 devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 adjustments, 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.

Disposal

Note to the disposal arising from icons placed on

the appliance or on the package. Description of the meanings can be found in section "Marking".

Do not dispose of electrical appliances in the household waste.

According to European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment and transposition to the national law, worn electrical equipment must be collected separately and put to recycling.

Recycling alternative to the return requirement: As an alternative to recycling, the owner of the electrical equipment is obliged to provide assistance in professional recycling.
