GB-10
Attention!
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.
1) Two-hand safety switch
(Fig. 5)
To switch the hedge shears on the bar switch in the
handle (1) and the grip switch of the bow-type handle (2)
must be pushed down.
To switch the device off let go of
both switches. The motor already stops if one of the two
switches is released.
2) Quick blade stop
In order to avoid injuries through cuts, the blade will
stop in max. 0.5 sec. when one of the two switches is
released.
3) Blade safety rail
(Fig. 8)
The cutting blade set back from the blade housing reduc-
es 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.
4) Impact protector
The extended guide rail prevents unpleasant shocks
(blade recoil) being transmitted to the operator due to
impact with solid objects (wall, ground etc.).
5) Gear protection feature
If solid objecst are caught in the cutting blade and jam
the motor, switch off the machine at once, disconnect the
power plug from the power socket, remove the object
and continue with the work.
The equipment is also fitted with an overload cutout,
which protects the gears against mechanical damage in
the event of blade jams.
14. Storing the trimmer after use
The hedge shears must be stored such that there is
no danger of injuries being caused to persons by the
cutting blades!
Important note:
The shearing blades should be cleaned
after each use (see also Section Maintenance).This will
considerably increase the service life of the device. Please
use a lubricator that is not harmful to the environment,
e. g. our service spray. Then put the shears in their case
with the cutting blades first.
15. Spare parts
Please contact our service department if you need ac-
cessories or spare parts.

16. Repair Service

quired shipping of the tool.
17. Information for environmental protection/
disposal
Dispose of the machine properly after it is worn out. Dis-
connect the mains cable in order to prevent misuse. Do
not dispose of the machine with the household waste. In
the interest of environmental protection, take it to a col-
lection point for electric machines. Your responsible local
authority can provide you with addresses and operating

Only for EU countries
Do not discard electric tools in the house-
hold waste!
In accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EC on
waste electrical and electronic equipment and its im-
plementation in national law, waste electric tools must
be collected separately for environmentally-compatible
re-use.
Recycling alternative to the return invitation:
Instead of returning the electric equipment, the owner is
alternatively obligated to take part in the proper recycling
in the case of relinquishment of ownership. The waste
equipment can also be taken to a collection facility which
disposes of it in the sense of the national recycling man-
agement and waste acts. This does not pertain to the
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment without electri-
cal components accompanying the waste equipment.
