USE
Intended use
•
The hedge trimmer must only be used for
cutting hedges and bushes. All other use
not described in these instructions can
result in serious personal injury and/or
material damage.
•
The hedge trimmer is only intended for
household use, not for commercial use.
Connection
1.
Check that the mains voltage corresponds
to the rated voltage on the type plate.
2.
Plug the plug into a suitable extension
cord. Make a loop on the cord, push it
through the opening in the rear handle and
hook the loop on the retainer (4).
Starting/stopping
1.
Starting: First press the power switch (2)
on front handle and then the power switch
(5) on the back handle. The hedge trimmer
now starts.
2.
Stopping: Release one of the power
switches (2) or (5).
3.
The bar brake stops the movement of
the blades within 1 second. It is perfectly
normal to see sparks in the upper
ventilation openings and this does not
mean something is wrong.
Cutting hedges
•
Cut branches thicker than Ø 16 mm with
secateurs first.
•
Trim the hedge to a slight trapezoidal
shape. This is the natural shape for growing
plants. This will result in optimal hedge
growth.
•
Start by trimming the sides from below and
up. Cut the upper part to your preferred
shape: straight, roof shaped or rounded.
•
The outer edges of the blades are rounded
and the blades are relatively displaced to
reduce the risk of personal injury. The extra
kickback protection prevents kickback if the
blade comes into contact with a wall or
fence, etc.
•
If the blades get jammed or blocked, switch off
the motor immediately and pull out the plug.
Clear the bar and plug in the plug again.
•
IMPORTANT: Metal objects such as wire
fencing can damage the blades.
•
The power cord should always be behind
you when trimming. Start trimming the
hedge closest to the power point. Plan the
direction your are going to work in before
starting the trimming.
