the body. Ensure that the trimmer
is in contact with no other objects
before switching on.
1. For tension relief of the cable,
form a loop of the end of the
extension cable and bring this
through the opening at the han-
dle and suspend in the tension
relief at the grip (8).
2. Connect the device to the mains
voltage.
3. To switch on, hold down the
safety switch on the bow handle
(3) and press the on/off switch
(9) on the handle at the same
time. The hedge trimmer runs at
top speed.
4. To switch off, release the on/off
switch. The braking effect can
cause the formation of sparks
in the area of the top ventilation
slits. This is normal and harm-
less to the equipment.
Working with the Electric
Hedge Trimmer
During cutting work, ensure that no
contact is made with objects, e.g.
such as wire fencing or main plant
stems. This may result in damage
to the cutter bar.
• Switch off the equipment immedi-
ately in the event that the blades are
blocked by solid objects, pull out the
power plug then remove the object.
• Always work away from the mains
power outlet. Set the cutting direction
before starting work. Ensure that the
power cable is kept well away from the
working area. Never lay the cable over
the hedge, where it could easily be
caught up in the trimmer blades.
• Avoid overstraining the equipment dur-
ing work.
Pull out the power plug imme-
diately if the cable is damaged,
badly twisted or has been com-
pletely cut through.
Adjusting the Grip:
The trimmer is equipped with an adjust-
able grip. The grip can be set to four posi-
tions in addition to the default position.
Simply select the position with which you
are most comfortable working. For exam-
ple, the grip can be turned 90° clockwise
or anti-clockwise for cutting up or down.
The 45° setting is ideal for shaping and
round cuts.
Do not press the grip release
button (
switch (
as this will prevent you from be-
ing able to set the grip.
Pressing the release (5) will allow you to
twist the grip clockwise or anti-clockwise
to 45° or to 90°, where you will hear it
automatically click into place. The grip can
be set only with the unit switched off.

Cutting Techniques

• Cut thick branches beforehand using a
branch clippers.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables
cutting in both directions or, with a
swinging action, from one side to the
other.
• In case of vertical cutting, move the
hedge trimmer uniformly forward or up
and down in an arc movement.
• In case of horizontal cutting, move
the hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped
movement to the edge of the hedge,
so that cut branches fall to the ground.
