and are not jamming/sticking, and whether
parts are broken or otherwise damaged in a
way that affects the function of the tool. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the tool.
Many accidents are the result of poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Thoroughly
looked-after cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are jamming less often and are easier to guide.
g) Use power tools, accessories, add-on tools,
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the way prescribed for the respective type
of tool. You should also consider the working
conditions and the work to be carried out. The
use of power tools for purposes other than those
intended for the respective tool may result in dan-
gerous situations.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by qualified tech-
nical personnel only; repairs should be carried
out using exclusively original spare parts. This
will ensure the safe operation of the power tool.
Safety instructions for hedge trimmers:
-
Keep all parts of your body away from the cutting
blades. Do not try to remove cut-off matter with
the tool running. Do not try to hold material to be
cut off with your hand. Remove cut-off matter that
is stuck between the blades only with the tool be-
ing switched off! When working with hedge trimmers
even a short moment of inattentiveness may result in
severe injury.
-
Hold the power tool by its insulated handling
surfaces as the cutting blades might get in touch
with the tool's own power cable. If the cutting
blades should accidentally cut into a live power cable
this might turn metal parts of the tool 'hot' thereby
causing an electric shock.
-
Carry the hedge trimmer at the handle with the
cutting blades standing still. Always put on the
protection cover when transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer. Careful handling reduces the risk of
injury through the cutting blades.
-
Keep the cable away from the cutting area. When
working with the trimmer the cable might be hidden in
bushes and accidentally cut through.
- The hedge trimmer should always be held with
both hands.
- Before using the equipment clear the working
area of any foreign objects and be aware of for-
eign objects during operation of the machine!
- Do not use the trimmer in wet weather and do
not use it to cut wet hedges.Do not wash down
the device with water. Do not use any high-
pressure cleaning devices or steam jet devices
for cleaning.
- In line with agricultural Trade Association Regula-
tions only persons over the age of 17 may work
on their own with electric hedge trimmers. Use is
permitted for persons over 16 years if the work is
carried out under the supervision of adults.
- Equipment which will be used in different outside
locations should be connected via residual cur-
rent - operated current breakers.
- For initial use of the hedge trimmer we would rec-
ommend that in addition to reading the operating
instructions, you also seek a practical demonstra-
tion from an expert.
- Always ensure that all protective devices and
handles are properly fitted. Never attempt to use
an incomplete machine.
- Never try to use an incomplete tool or a tool that
has been modified in a way that has not been
approved.
- Familiarize yourself with the working area and pay
attention to possible dangers which you might not
be able to hear due to the noise of the machine.
- Avoid to use the hedge-trimmer in poor weather
conditions, especially if there is a risk of a thun-
derstorm.
Before use
Safety Guard (Fig. 1)
Fit the enclosed safety guard in the slot on the hedge-
trimmer. The safety shield prevents touching the blades
during operation. Hold tool with both hands!
Power connection
The machine can only be connected to a single-phase
a.c. current connection. The machine is protectively
insulated in accordance with classification II of VDE
0740. Before using the machine ensure that the mains
current agrees with the operating voltage data on the
machine's identification plate.
Power Circuit Breaker:
Machines which will be used in different outside
locations must be connected to a Power Circuit
Breaker.
Securing the power supply cable (Fig. 2)
Only use extension leads suitable for outside use. The
cross section of the wire (max. length of extension cord:
75m) must be at least 1,5 mm². Secure the equipment
flex to the extension lead by inserting the extension lead
into the strain relief gap of the housing.
Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the perfor-
mance of the machine.
Instructions for use of the equipment
Do not use the trimmer in rain or for cutting wet
hedges!
Check the hedge trimmer flex and its connections
before each and every use for visible signs of
damage (disconnect the power plug)! Do not use
a faulty flex.
Gloves:
Protective gloves must be worn when using the
hedge trimmer.
