How to start the Güde HS 510 hedge trimmer?

The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-hand safety system. To start, press the button on the guide handle with one hand while pressing the switch on the main handle with the other hand. Ensure the cable is properly secured in the strain relief device.

What to do if the blades jam?

Immediately stop the device, disconnect it from the power supply, then remove the jammed object. Check that the branch does not exceed 14 mm in diameter, otherwise use pruning shears to cut it beforehand.

How to maintain the hedge trimmer blades?

Before each use, lubricate the blade shaft with universal oil. After use, clean the blades with a brush (non-sharp object) to remove branch residues. Once a year or if necessary, have the blades sharpened or replaced by a specialist.

What safety precautions are essential?

Always wear protective gloves, safety glasses, ear protection and non-slip shoes. Do not work in rain or humid conditions. Use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use and a residual current circuit breaker (RCD). Keep other people at a safe distance.

The hedge trimmer does not start, what should I check?

First check that the device is properly plugged in and that the extension cable is not damaged. If the problem persists, inspect the thermal fuse of the device. If the internal wiring is defective, contact after-sales service.

What is the blade length and cutting capacity?

The sharpened blade is 510 mm long (580 mm total) with a 16 mm spacing between teeth. The rotation speed is 3000 min⁻¹. It can cut branches up to 14 mm in diameter; beyond that, use pruning shears.

How to store the hedge trimmer after use?

Unplug the device, clean it thoroughly and store it in a dry, clean place. Use the provided blade protector to cover the blade during transport and storage.
