10. Adjusting the turning handle
To facilitate your work the hedgetrimmer are equipped with
a turning rear handle that can be set in 3 different positions
(right, left, and normal). The purpose of this mechanism
is that especially for cutting in vertical direction the hedge
shears can be held in their ergonomically most favourable
position whereby an early fatigue of the user is avoided.
Please proceed as follows to change the position of the
handle:
Release switch (A). Pull back the locking pin (C) (Fig. 3). The
handle is now unlocked and can be turned to the desired
position (Fig. 4). In the desired end position, the pin locks
back into place and securing the handle and avoiding an
accidental change of the position.
For a more comfortable way of working the turning handle
can be set continuously, too.
button (C) and keep it pushed. The hedge trimmer can now
comfortably be turned to all directions while working.
To increase safety when operating the turn handle, the
trimmer drive shuts off in less that 0.1 seconds if either the
switch on the hand grip (A) or the red switch rail on the turn
handle (B) is released. This ensures that the hedge trimmer
can only be operated if both hands are on the hand grips and
at the same time both switches are actuated. This effectively
eliminates the risk of injury, combined with the extremely
short run-on time.
11. Holding the hedge trimmer when in use
4, 5 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.
12. Maintenance
Always disconnect the battery from the tool before
commencing any work on the machine.
Important: Always clean and oil the blades after prolonged

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).
Sharpening of the blades
The blades generally do not need servicing and do not require
resharpening if used correctly. In order to prevent injuries
caused by the blades when not in use, the sharpened cutting
blade should be covered by the blade cover (Fig. 8). The
blades cannot be sharpened by the user without opening
the equipment and the safety mechanism. Resharpening of
the blades can therefore only be carried out at a specialist
workshop.
Changing the blades
Only correct installation of the blades will guarantee problem-
free operation and function of the above mentioned safety
feature of the blades. Changing of the blades should therefore
only be carried out at a specialist workshop.
13. 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!
(fig.
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. 0.1 sec. when one of the two switches is released.
Blade safety rail (Fig. 7)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduces
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. 12)
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks (blade
recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to impact with
solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
