Switching On and Off

Ensure that you are standing in a
firm position with both hands grip-
ping the hedge trimmer away from
the body. Ensure that the trimmer
is in contact with no other objects
before switching on.
1. For tension relief of the cable,
form a loop of the end of the
extension cable and bring this
through the opening at the han-
dle and suspend in the tension
relief at the grip (8).
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
3. To switch on, hold down the
safety switch on the bow handle
(3) and press the on/off switch
(9) on the handle at the same
time. The hedge trimmer runs at
top speed.
4. To switch off, release the on/off
switch. The braking effect can
cause the formation of sparks
in the area of the top ventilation
slits. This is normal and harm-
less to the equipment.
Working with the Electric
Hedge Trimmer
During cutting work, ensure that no
contact is made with objects, e.g.
such as wire fencing or main plant
stems. This may result in damage
to the cutter bar.
• Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
• Always work away from the mains pow-
er outlet. Set the cutting direction before
90
starting work. Ensure that the power
cable is kept well away from the work-
ing area. Never lay the cable over the
hedge, where it could easily be caught
up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
Pull out the power plug imme-
diately if the cable is damaged,
badly twisted or has been com-
pletely cut through.
Adjusting the Grip:
The trimmer is equipped with an adjustable
grip. The grip can be set to four positions
in addition to the default position. Simply
select the position with which you are most
comfortable working. For example, the grip
can be turned 90° clockwise or anti-clock-
wise for cutting up or down. The 45° setting
is ideal for shaping and round cuts.
Do not press the grip release but-
ton ( 5) and the On/Off switch
( 9) at the same time, as this
will prevent you from being able
to set the grip.
Pressing the release (5) will allow you to
twist the grip clockwise or anti-clockwise to
45° or to 90°, where you will hear it auto-
matically click into place. The grip can be
set only with the unit switched off.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables cut-
ting in both directions or, with a swinging
action, from one side to the other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
