5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the power
source make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the power data.
Warning!
Always remove the power plug from the
power source before making adjustments to
the equipment.
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
⁄ "
5 may therefore emit an odor or generate sparks
8
when it is switched off . This has no infl uence
on the future operational performance or safety
of the equipment. Please avoid switching the
equipment on and off more often than necessary.
6. Operation
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-
handed safety switch system. The equipment
works only when the lock-off switch on the steady
grip (Figure 2 / Item 3) is pressed with one hand
and the On/Off switch on the handle (Figure 2 /
Item 4) is pressed with the other hand. If either
switch is released, the blades will stop moving.
Please watch out for the blades as they slow
down to a standstill.
•
Please check that the blades work properly.
The twin-blades rotate in opposite directions,
thus guaranteeing high cutting performance
and smooth operation.
•
Before use, fasten the extension cord in the
strain-relief clamp (see Fig. 2).
•
When working outdoors, use extension cords
that are approved for the purpose.
Notes on working practice
•
A hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges.
•
To obtain the best cutting results, hold the
hedge trimmer so that the teeth of the blades
are at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to
the hedge (see Figure 3).
•
The twin-blades rotate in opposite directions,
thus enabling cutting in both directions (see
Figure 4).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
