Before use
Assembly of the protection shield
(Fig. 2)
Slide the included protection shield (3) over the blade rail
and fix it from both sides at the housing using 2 screws
on each side as shown in Fig. 2.
Power connection
The machine can only be connected to a single-phase
a.c. current connection. The machine is protectively in-
sulated in accordance with classification II of VDE 0740.
Before using the machine ensure that the mains current
agrees with the operating voltage data on the machine’s
identification plate.
Power Circuit Breaker:
Machines which will be used in different outside loca
-
tions must be connected to a Power Circuit Breaker.
Securing the power supply cable
(Fig. 3)
Only use cables (extension flex) that are approved for
outdoor use. The cable diameter must be equal to or bigger
than 1.5mm² for cable lengths up to 75m.
Put the coupling of the extension flex onto the shears‘
plug. For strain relief, stick a loop of the extension flex
through the opening in the handle and put it onto the
strain relief hook.
Extension flexes with a length of more than 30m reduce
the machine’s output.
Instructions for use of the equipment
Do not use the trimmer in rain or for cutting wet
hedges!
Check the hedge trimmer flex and its connections be
-
fore each and every use for visible signs of damage
(disconnect the power plug)! Do not use a faulty flex.
Gloves:
Protective gloves must be worn when using the
hedge trimmer.
Switching the hedge shears on/off
(Fig. 4)
When switching the hedge shears on take a safe stand.
These hedge shears have a two-hand safety switch. To
switch the hedge shears on the bar switch in the handle
(A) and the grip switch of the bow-type handle (B) 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.
The breaking mechanism causes the blade to stop within
0.5 sec. The sparks (flashes) developing from this in the
area of the upper ventilation slots are normal and harm-
less for the device.
Adjusting the turning handle
(Fig. 5)
To facilitate your work the hedgetrimmer are equipped
with a turning rear handle that can be set in 5 different
positions [ right (45°/90°), left (45°/90°) and normal ]. The
