6. Power supply
The hedge trimmer is designed for use only with
single-phase alternating current from a 230V 50Hz
AC supply. It is totally insulated, enabling it to be
connected also to socket-outlets without a PE con-
ductor. Before you use the hedge trimmer for the first
time, check that your mains voltage is the same as
the operating voltage specified on the machine’s
rating plate.
7. Startup and operation
Caution! This hedge trimmer is designed to cut hed-
ges, bushes and shrubs. Any other use which is not
expressly permitted in these instructions may cause
damage to the hedge trimmer and place the user at
serious risk.
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a two-hand
safety circuit. This means that it works only when the
switch button on the guide handle (Figure 1 / Item 3)
is pressed with the one hand while the switch on the
handle (Figure 1 / Item 4) is being pressed with the
other hand.
If you let go of either switching element, the blades
will stop moving.
The blades take time to slow down to a standstill.
Please make allowance.
-
Check that the blades are working properly. High
cutting performance and smooth operation are
guaranteed by the counter-rotating, dual-edge
blades.
-
Use only approved extension cables for outdoor
use.
8. Practical tips
The hedge trimmer can be used to cut shrubs
and bushes as well as hedges. (max. dia. to be
cut: 14 mm)
For the best performance, hold the hedge trim-
mer with its teeth at an angle of approx. 15° to
the hedge (see Figure 5).
Cutting in both directions is possible with the
counter-rotating dual-edge blades (see Figure 6).
To trim your hedge to a uniform height, run a
length of string along the hedge for guidance and
cut off the projecting branches (see Figure 7).
Cut the sides of the hedge with sweeping move-
ments from the bottom up (see Figure 8).
9. Maintenance and cleaning
Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its
power plug before you put it down and clean it.
For the best cutting performance at all times,
clean and lubricate the blades ate regular inter-
vals. Remove deposits with a brush and apply a
thin film of oil (see Figure 9).
Use bio-degradable oils.
Clean the plastic housing and parts with a mild
household detergent and a damp cloth. Never
use aggressive agents or solvents.
