Prior to starting work, check the mains connection
cable and extension cable for damage. Only use
mains connection cables and extension cables in
perfect condition.
Position the extension cable such that it cannot be
caught by the cutting blades (e.g. sling over your
shoulder).

other foreign bodies.
If the cutting blades come to a standstill due to a
particularly hard branch or foreign body (wire in a
hedge) and the stoppage cannot be corrected by

first be switched off and the plug removed from the
socket before the cause of the blockage can be

area.
Lay the machine down such that persons are not

When you have laid the hedge trimmer down, pull
