- 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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a machine will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the electric tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
* Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating an electric tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating an electric 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.

Personal Safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating an electric tool. Do not use an electric 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.
Use adequate 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.
* Prevent unintentional starting of the tool. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and /or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying electric tools with your finger on the switch or energising electric tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the electric tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tools may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the electric tool in unexpected situations.
* 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.
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.

Electric Tool Use and Care

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

* Disconnect the plug from the power source and /or the battery pack from the electric tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing electric tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the electric tool accidentally.
Store idle electric tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the electric tool.
Electric tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

* Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric tools.
* Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
* Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the electric 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 electric tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use the electric tools, accessories and tool bits in compliance with the mentioned instructions and with respect to the work area conditions and the type of work to be performed.
Use of the electric tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

  A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
  Carry the electric hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always fit the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the electric hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
  Hold the electric tool by insulated gripping surfaces only because the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
  * Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the electrical tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

7. SCOPE OF APPLICATION

Use the hedge trimmer exclusively for trimming hedges, shrubs and other woody ornamentals. If the hedge trimmer is used for purposes other than those specifically mentioned in the manual, there is a risk of damage to the trimmer or serious personal injury.

8. MACHINE ASSEMBLY (Fig. 1)

Protective guard and blade assembly

- Slide the attached protective guard (3) onto the grooves in the hedge trimmer body and fasten it on both sides using the attached fixing bolts (8).

Connection to the electric mains

The hedge trimmer should only be connected to a single-phase power supply powered by alternating current.
* Check whether the parameters of the power network match the values specified in the tool'stype label.
Plug the power cord to an appropriate extension cable.
* Create a loop and slide it through an opening in the rear handle and hitch it onto the cord holder (6).

9. STARTING THE TOOL (Fig. 1)

ATTENTION! Warning!

Use the tool solely for purposes specified in the chapter Scope of Application.

Switching on the tool

* Press the rear handle switch (5) and the front handle switch (4) simultaneously with both hands.

Switching off the tool

Release the switch (5) or (4).

Note:

The cutting blade brake stops the movement of the blades within 0.5 s, i.e. almost instantly. Small flash in the area of upper vent holes is normal and poses no risk either for you or the tool.

10. HEDGE TRIMMING

Before hedge trimming, locate branches with diameter greater than 20 mm and cut them off using the pruning shears.
* Trapezoidal cut corresponds to natural growth of plants and contributes to optimal hedge growth.
* First trim the hedge sides from bottom-up. Now trim the upper part to form the desired shape; you may select straight cut, roof-shaped cut or round cut.

The safety blade has rounded and stepped teeth on the sides which reduce the risk of injury when working with the tool. Additional protection against impact prevents undesirable back blow in case of accidental contact of the blade with wall, fence, etc.
If the blades get jammed or blocked by a foreign object, turn off the motor immediately, unplug the tool from the mains and remove the object from the blades.
Caution: If the blades get into contact with metal objects, e.g. fence, the blades may be damaged.
When cutting, make sure to keep the power cord safely behind you. Always start trimming the hedge at a point nearest to the power socket and continue trimming further on. You should therefore plan the cutting direction before starting hedge trimming.

11.STORAGE (Fig. 1)

Electric hedge trimmer must be stored out of reach of children.
Remove the mains plug.
- Clean the electric hedge trimmer and attach the scabbard 1 onto the cutting blade 2.
Store the electric hedge trimmer in a dry place without the frost risk.

12. MAINTENANCE (Fig. 1)

Cleaning the hedge trimmer

ATTENTION! Danger of injury / bodily harm by electric shock! Before any maintenance, always disconnect the tool from the power network and attach the scabbard 1 onto the cutting blade 2.
