6. Operation
Switching ON/OFF.
The hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-han-
ded safety switch. The machine works only when
the switch on the steady grip (Figure 1 / Item 3)
is pressed with one hand and the switch on the
handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is pressed with the
other hand. If either switch is released, the cutters
will stop moving. Please watch out for the cutters
as they slow down to a standstill.
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 cutter teeth are
at an angle of approx. 15° in relation to the
hedge (see Figure 7).
•
The twin-bladed cutters rotate in opposite
directions, thus enabling cutting in both direc-
tions (see Figure 8).
•
It is recommended to tie a guide line of string
or the like along the hedge so that you cut the
hedge to a level height. Cut off all branches
which protrude beyond the guide line (see
Figure 9).
•
Cut the sides of the hedge with curve-shaped
movements from the bottom up (see Figure
10).
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Turn o
ff
and remove the rechargeable battery
from the hedge trimmer, before putting down or
cleaning.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
•
Remove deposits from the guard hood with a
brush.
7.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a quali
fi
ed electrician.
Danger!
The carbon brushes should not be
replaced by anyone but a quali
fi
ed electrician.
7.3 Maintenance
•
The cutters should be cleaned and lubricated
at regular intervals in order to ensure best
performance at all times. Remove deposits
with a brush and apply a thin film of oil (Figure
11).
•
There are no parts inside the equipment
which require additional maintenance.
•
For storage, the hedge trimmer can be hung
up on a nail, screw or similar in a borehole on
the impact guard, with blade guard mounted
(Fig. 12)
