• The safety blade rail has laterally rounded and stag-
gered cutting teeth to reduce the risk of injuries. The
additional impact protector avoids unpleasant kick-
backs when the blades get in touch with walls, fences
etc. (Fig. 4 + 5).
• In case of a blocking of the blades through solid ob-
jects, switch off the device immediately, pull the plug
and only then remove the object.
• ATTENTION ! Metal objects as wire fences and plant
supports may lead to damages to the blade rail.
• Always lead the cable away from the working area.
Always work in the direction away from the electrical
socket. This is why you should determine the cutting
direction before you start cutting.
• Cutting periods:
- Deciduous hedges:
- Pine hedges:
- Coniferous hedges:
7. Switching on and off
• Switching the device on: Concurrently push the on/off
switches (3+4) with both hands.
• Switching the device off: Let go of both on/off switch-
es.
• The breaking mechanism causes the blade to stop
within 0.5 sec. The sparks (flashes) developing from
this in the area of the upper ventilation slots are nor-
mal and harmless for the device.

8. Maintenance

Always disconnect the plug from the power socket
before commencing any work on the machine.
Important: Always clean and oil the blades after pro-
longed use of the hedge trimmer. This will greatly affect
the life of the equipment. Damaged cutting units must
be properly repaired immediately. Clean the shearing
blades with a dry cloth or – in case of heavier dirt – with a
brush. Attention: Danger of injury! Oiling of the blades
should ideally be carried out using an environmentally
friendly lubricant (Fig. 6).
Then put the shears in their case with the cutting blades
first.
Only use the spare parts and accessories recommended
by the manufacturer.

9. Environmental protection

If this hedge trimmer should some day have been used
in such an intensive way that it must be replaced or you
do not have any use for it any longer, please think of the
protection of the environment. Electrical devices, acces-
sories and packaging do not belong to your domestic
refuse, but should be supplied for environmentally
friendly recycling in accordance with the applicable local
regulations.
