The specifi ed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equip- ment is used and may exceed the specifi ed value in exceptional circumstances. The specifi ed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specifi ed vibration value can be used for initi- al assessment of a harmful eff ect. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Caution! Do not fi t the battery until the equipment has been fully assembled and all the settings have been actuated. Always wear protective gloves when working on the equipment to protect yourself against injury. Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are complete (Fig. 1).

5.1 Fitting the hedge trimmer mounting kit to

the motor head (Fig. 2/3) The guard must be slipped over the hedge cutter blade in order to prevent injuries.

1. Position the hedge trimmer mounting kit and

the motor head such that the arrows on both parts coincide.

2. Press the hedge trimmer mounting kit against

the motor head. This will cause the lock button (R) to be pushed to the right. Turn the hedge trimmer mounting kit clockwise. The hedge trimmer mounting kit will lock onto the motor head and is then secured in place. This will cause the lock button (R) to be pushed to the left.

5.2 Removing the hedge trimmer mounting

kit from the motor head (Fig. 2/3) The guard must be slipped over the hedge cutter blade in order to prevent injuries.

1. Pull the lock button (R) to the right.

2. Turn the hedge trimmer mounting kit to the

point where the arrows on the motor head and hedge trimmer mounting kit coincide, allowing the mounting kit to be removed.

6. Working with the hedge trimmer

tions, thus guaranteeing high cutting perfor- mance and smooth operation.

Take care to maintain a steady foothold and hold the equipment firmly in both hands away from your body. Before you switch on, make sure that the equipment is not touching any objects. Work practice

A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and bushes as well as hedges.

To obtain the best cutting results, hold the hedge trimmer so that the cutter teeth are at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the hedge (see Fig. 4).

The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc- tions (see Fig. 5).

It is recommended to tie a guide line of string or the like along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches which protrude beyond the guide line (see Fig. 6/7).

Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped movements from the bottom up (see Fig. 8).

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger! Remove the battery pack before doing any cleaning and maintenance work.

Regularly clean the clamping mechanism by blowing it out with compressed air or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use tools for cleaning.

Keep the handles free of grease so that you can maintain a firm grip.

Clean the equipment as required with a damp cloth and, if necessary, mild washing up li- quid.

Never immerse the equipment in water or other liquids in order to clean it.

Use a brush to remove deposits from the sa- fety guards.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated at regular intervals in order to ensure best perfor- mance at all times. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a thin fi lm of oil (Fig. 9).
