Working Technique
Vertical Cut
Swing the cutting blade from the bottom
upwards in an arc – lower the nose of the
blade, move along the hedge and then
swing the blade up again in an arc.
Any working position above head height
is tiring. To minimize the risk of
accidents, work in such positions for
short periods only.
Horizontal Cut
Hold the cutter bar at an angle of 0° to
10° as you swing the hedge trimmer
horizontally.
Swing the cutting blade in an arc
towards the outside of the hedge so that
the cuttings are swept to the ground.
Repeat the procedure several times on
wide hedges.
The voltage and frequency of the
machine (see rating plate) must match
the voltage and frequency of the power
connection.
The minimum fuse protection of the
power connection must comply with the
specifications – see "Specifications".
The machine must be connected to the
power supply via an earth-leakage
circuit breaker to disconnect the power
supply if the differential current to earth
exceeds 30 mA.
The power connection must correspond
to IEC 60364 and relevant national
regulations.
Extension Cords
Use an extension cord specifically
approved for outdoor applications. Make
sure your electrical cord set is in good
condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough
to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized extension cord
may cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size (AWG) to use for your
machine (Cord types SJW or SJTW)
depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
