7. Operation
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch. The machine works only
when the switch on the steady grip (Fig. 4/Item A)
is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Fig. 4/Item B) is pressed with the other
hand.
Releasing any of the switches will bring the hedge
trimmer to a stop.
In so doing, please check the running of the bla-
des.
•
Please check that the blades function cor-
rectly.
•
The blades cut on both sides and run in op-
posite
•
directions to each other, for guaranteed high
•
cutting performance and quiet operation.
•
Fasten the extension cable to the cable hol-
der
•
before starting to use the machine (see Fig.
4).
•
For use in the open air you must only use
•
extension cables certified for the purpose.
Tips on use
•
The hedge trimmer can be used not only for
trimming hedges but for trimming shrubs and
bushes as well.
•
For optimum trimming performance, guide the
blade teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to the
hedge (see Fig. 5).
•
Since the blades cut on both sides and run
in opposite directions to each other, you can
trim in both directions (see Fig. 6).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 7). Ensure that the blades do not come
into contact with the string.
•
The sides of the hedge should be trimmed
with arc-type movements from below upwards
(see Fig. 8).
Electric brake
For safety reasons, the equipment is supplied
with an electric brake system that stops the
cutting blades as quickly as possible after the
equipment has been switched off . The equipment
may therefore emit an odor or generate sparks
when it is switched off . This has no infl uence on

the future operational performance or safety of
the equipment. Please avoid switching the equip-
ment on and off more often than necessary.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
