a quick release. Press the hooks together
(Item 5a) and pull the shoulder strap (Fig. 5)

Push forward the release (Item 18) on the turning
element (Item 8) and turn the handle (Item 4) to
the required position (-90°/-45°/0°/45°/90°).

6.3 Connecting to the power supply
•
Connect the power cable to a suitable ex-
tension cable. Make sure that the extension
cable is designed for the power rating of the
electric hedge trimmer.
•
Secure the extension cable (Item A) as
shown in Fig. 10 to protect it against pulling
forces and accidental disconnection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a profes-
sionally installed safety mains socket with
ground contact. We recommend using a
cable with a bright and highly visible color
(red or yellow). This will reduce the risk of ac-
cidentally damaging it with the electric hedge
trimmer.
6.4 Switching On/Off (Fig. 9)
a) Switching on
- Hold the electric hedge trimmer fi rmly with
one hand on the handle (Item 4) and the other
hand on the grip area (Fig. 1/Item 2).
- Push forward the safety lock-off (Item 3) and
press the On/Off switch (Item 7). Let go of the
safety lock-off (Item 3).
b) Switching off
- Release the On/Off switch (Item 7).
- Always disconnect the mains plug when you
stop working, even if it is only for a short time.
Check that the blades work properly and
make sure that they come to a standstill.
