5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.
The plug on the power tool must fit into the socket. The socket must not be modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with power tools that have a grounded plug.
Unmodified plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heating systems, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
If you use an electric power tool outdoors, use only extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a damp location, use a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker.
The use of a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the risk of electric shock.
We recommend that you connect the hedge trimmer only to an electricity source protected by a residual current device (RCD) breaker with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.
Assembly of the equipment (Fig. 3a-3d)
Remove the fastening screws (Fig. 3b/Item C) from the steady grip (Fig. 2/Item 2) to take the steady grip apart. Fit the top section (Fig. 3a/Item A) and the grip section (Fig. 3b/Item B) back together on the long handle and fit the 4 screws (Fig. 3b/Item C) again. Insert the extension pole (Fig. 3c/Item 9) into the mount on the motor unit (Fig. 3c/Item 11) and secure it by tightening the union nut (Fig. 3d/Item A).
Adjusting the telescopic long handle (Fig. 4) Open the locking lever (Fig. 4/Item A) by fl ipping it up and then adjust the long handle to the length you require. Secure the long handle in this position afterwards by fl ipping the locking lever back down.
Adjusting the tilt angle (Fig. 5)
Important: Disconnect the power plug before you adjust the tilt angle!
The cutting blade can be tilted to make the work as easy as possible.
To do so, press the button (Fig. 5/Item 13) and hold it down. Set the required angle and then release the button. Make sure that the tilt angle adjuster latches in place correctly
Fitting the shoulder strap
Important: Always use the shoulder strap when working with the hedge trimmer. Switch off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap. There is a risk of injury.
- Hook the carabiner into the strap holder as shown in Fig. 6/Item G.
- Slip the shoulder strap over your shoulder.
- Adjust the length of the shoulder strap so that the strap attachment is at waist level and you can work without fatigue.
Note:
The shoulder strap is equipped with a safety release (Fig. 6/Item with which you can quickly detach the shoulder strap in case of danger. To operate the safety release, pull it upwards.
6. Operation
Connect the hedge trimmer power cable to the plug (Fig. 7/Item B) and secure the power cable (Fig. 7/Item A) with the strain-relief clip (Fig. 7/Item 4).
On/Off switch
Important! To prevent accidental start-up, the hedge trimmer is equipped with a safety switch (Fig. 7/Item 8) which must be pressed before the ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7/Item 7) can be pressed. If the ON/OFF switch is released, the equipment switches off. Repeat this process several times, so that you are sure that your equipment functions properly.
Please watch out for the cutters as they slow down to a standstill.
- Please check that the cutters work properly. The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus guaranteeing high cutting performance and smooth operation.
GB
- Before use, fasten the extension cable in the stress-relief clip (see Fig. 7).
- When working outdoors, use extension cables that are approved for that purpose.
- Ensure that you have a good footing. Firmly hold the hedge trimmer with both hands at a safe distance from your body. Before switching the hedge trimmer on, make sure that it is not touching anything.
Working with the hedge trimmer
- An electric hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs and bushes as well as hedges.
- The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite directions, thus enabling cutting in both directions (see Figure 8).
- It is recommended to tie a guide line of string along the hedge so that you cut the hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches which protrude beyond the guide line (see Figure 9).
- Cut the sides of the hedge using a sweeping motion from the bottom up (see Figure 10).
- Be sure to comply with noise protection regulations and local ordinances. Use of the hedge trimmer may be restricted or prohibited on certain days (e.g. Sundays and holidays), at certain times of the day (midday, nighttime) or in particular areas (e.g. health resorts, clinics, etc.).
- When you are cutting, ensure that you do not come into contact with any objects such as wire fences or plant supports. This may damage the cutter bar.
- Firmly hold the hedge trimmer in both hands, with one hand on the rear handle and the other hand on the front handle. Your fingers and thumbs should be wrapped around the handles.
- If a solid object blocks the cutter, immediately switch off the hedge trimmer, disconnect the power plug and remove the object.
- Always continue moving away from the power outlet as you work. Decide on the direction of cut before you start working.
- Make sure that the extension cable stays out of the work area. Never route the cable over the hedge where it could easily by caught by the cutter blades.
- Avoid subjecting the hedge trimmer to excessive stress while you are working.
- Cutting hedges in the shape of a trapezoid is recommended to prevent the lower branches from going bare. This corresponds to natural plant growth and allows your hedge to flourish. If you only cut back the new seasonal
shoots when you are trimming, you will have a dense hedge which provides good privacy.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
- 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.
