Adjusting the Telescoping Pole
This machine is equipped with a telescoping pole which can
telescope from 3.7 ft (1.1 m) to 5.3 ft (1.6 m). To adjust the
telescoping pole, follow the instructions below.
1. Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the power supply by
removing the battery from the compartment.
2. Unclip the telescoping lock to release the pole. Extend the
pole to the desired length (Fig. 40).
NOTE: Push poles toward each other to shorten the pole
or pull them away from each other to lengthen the pole.
Only extend the pole to the minimum length required to
reach the hedges.
3. Lock the pole in position by closing the telescoping lock
(Fig. 41), and ensure that the pole is secured.

Before Operation
1. Check the tool, the battery as well as accessories for
damage before each use. Do not use the tool if it is
damaged or shows wear.
2. Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly fixed.
3. Always hold the tool by its handle and soft grip. Keep the
handles dry to ensure safe support.
4. Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked
air vents may lead to overheating and damage the tool.
5. Switch the tool off immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working
area. Always let the tool come to a complete stop before
putting it down.
6. Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure
you can concentrate on the work and have full control
over the tool.
