Holding the hedge trimmer when in use
(Fig. 4 and 8)
This equipment will enable you to cut or trim bushes and
hedges easily and comfortably.
Trimming of hedges
- Young shoots are best cut in a scythe movement.
- Older and stronger hedges are best cut in a sawing
movement.
- Branches, which are too thick for the hedge trimmer,
should be cut with a saw.
- Sides of hedges should be cut upwards in a taper.
In order to achieve an even height
- Fix a guide line at the required height.
- Cut evenly over this guide line.
Take care to have a secure and safe standing position
when working with your hedge shears in order to avoid
slipping and injury. Always keep the shearing blades
away from your body.
Optimum safety
The 5 special features two-hand safety switch, quick
blade stop, protective cover, blade safety rail and impact
protector are fitted to provide the hedge trimmer with
optimum safety features.
Attention!
If you find out that safety functions, such as the
2-switch mechanism or the safety stop, are not
functioning while working with the hedge shears,
immediately cease working and take the machine
to a specialised shop for repairing.
Two-hand safety switch (Fig.3)
To switch the hedge trimmer on the bar switch in the
handle (A) must be pushed and the rotary switch of the
handle (B) must be rotated by 45° backward. To switch
the device off let go of both switches. The motor already
stops if one of the two switches is released.
Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will
stop in max. 0.2 sec. when one of the two switches is
released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 7 and 9)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es the risk of injuries due to unintentional body contact.
As soon as the hedge trimmer is switched off, the sharp
cutting blades will stop - due to safety reasons - exactly
under the cover rail in order to reduce the risk of injuries
during transport.
Impact protector (Fig. 9)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
GB | Operating Instruction
Gear protection feature
If solid objects are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object
and continue with the work.
The equipment is also fitted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.
Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note: The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use.(see also Section Maintenance).This will
considerably increase the service life of the device.
Please use a lubricator that is not harmful to the envi-
ronment , e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in
their case with the cutting blades first.
